Dynamic emulation of mechanical loads with backlash based on rapid control prototyping

The paper discusses advanced control of a dynamometer performing dynamic emulation of mechanical loads. Assumed is certain class of nonlinear load with backlash. Paper presents and describes the basic control structure, which can be used for validation of speed algorithms and its practical implementation with rapid control prototyping. Validation of experimental results against the simulations has been performed with experimental test bench containing permanent magnet DC machines and DC-DC converters with high sampling times in current control loops.
