Electro pneumatic control system for inverted pendulum

The paper concerns the inverted pendulum control system with using pneumatic cylinder. A mathematical model of the pendu-lum used to derive the LQG controller was presented. Prepared laboratory stand was presented and described in detail. The main purpose of the work was experimental researches. A number of control process tests were conducted with variable model parameters such as addi-tional mass, injected disturbances and so on. The results were shown on the time plots of the control object states.
