Controller Design

To make a drivetrain successful in operation, a good control system is required. Controlab has over 15 years of experience in:

• Frequency Controllers
• Position and Speed Controllers
• Force and Torque Controllers
• Level Controllers

With the right drivetrain models, Controllab can build controllers that will get the maximum of performance out of the drivetrain, while maintaining the desired accuracy and keeping optimal safety.

Example

The Solitaire is the biggest pipe-laying ship in the world. The ship can lay 10 km of pipe per day at a depth of almost 3 km. On the ship, pipe segments with a length of 24 m are welded together and lowered from the ships stern.

To keep the bendingforces in the pipe segments within limits, a 110 m long arch is mounted onto the ship. Special tensioners on the ship pull the pipe segments with just enough force to prevent them from falling into the sea. Controllab has helped to construct a model the pipe laying to investigate the screw's safety in case of a pipe breakage. Several scanario's where simulated to investigate unsafe places on the ship in case of a breakage.
