Project Summary
We will design a controller for an electric linear actuator-based active suspension system. Initially, a position sensor will be used to determine the location of the “vehicle,” relative to the “wheel” position. The controller will use this information to engage the linear actuator to keep the mass at a relatively constant position. The addition of an accelerometer to the system will eventually be investigated to control the acceleration levels experienced throughout the range of available “wheel” displacement. LabVIEW will be used throughout the project as the controller platform. An additional deliverable of the project will be the creation of a tutorial (or guide) on the use of LabVIEW in controller design and implementation.

Current Project Goals• Model the system characteristics of the linear actuator• Implement National Instrument’s hardware and software
(LabViewTM) to provide data acquisition and power electronics control
• Create a tutorial for the use of National Instrument’s hardware and software (LabViewTM)
• Implement a feedback position controller using National Instrument’s hardware and software (LabViewTM) to minimize the error
• Reintegrate the linear actuator and H-bridge hardware into the suspension system due to the unavailability of the H-bridge hardware used previously

Project Description
This project will involve focused efforts in power electronics design, system modeling and simulation, and feedback controller design. After the system and controller are simulated successfully utilizing Simulink, National Instrument hardware and software will be used to implement the feedback controller and provide control signals to the power electronics driving the active suspension system linear actuator.
