Feedback Control of Service Gates of a Shipping Lock Using a System of Rules

The problem of positional control of the service gates in a shipping lock as a multidimensional control object with lumped parameters is considered. A general formulation of the problem is given, including requirements for the final and intermediate states. To solve the problem, it is proposed to use a production model of the regulator in the form of a system of rules. The numerical method for solving the problem is based on presenting the control algorithm in the form of an a priori non-fixed and time-varying system of rules determined during the control process. The presented results of numerical modeling confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method for determining the positional control of objects of this type.
