Distributed cooperative control for stepper motor synchronization

This paper describes the design and simulation of a distributed cooperative control algorithm based on multi-agents to synchronize a group of stepper motors. Modeling of the two-phase hybrid stepper motor in closed loop is derived in {d-q} rotary reference frame, based on field-oriented controtechniques to provide torque control. The simulation obtained by MATLAB-Simulink shows that the distributed cooperative control effectiveness depends on the network topology defined by the graph.
