Preliminary Study on Magnetic Levitation Modeling Using PID Control

Abstract

This paper proposes to understand about basic magnetic levitation model. Magnetic Levitation is repulsive or attractive force resulting gap from magnetic field. Characteristic of the magnetic levitation model is used permanent magnet and electromagnet with PID control to maintain wide gap between levitator and object levitation. Mass addition is used to analysis the model of the Maglev with PID control to maintain wide gap. Calculation result show that the maglev with PID control has sufficient levitation force in the maintain wide gap. Comparison between calculated and measured values can be done to build a another complex model magnetic levitation.
