This paper deals with the design of an interval state estimator for linear time-varying (LTV) discrete-time systems subject to component faults and uncertainties. These component faults and uncertainties are assumed to be unknown but bounded without giving any other information, whose effect can be approximated using these bounds. In the first part of this work, an interval state estimator for such systems is designed to deal with these component faults and uncertainties. The result is then extended to find an interval state estimator for a non-cooperative LTVdiscrete-time system subject to component faults and uncertainties by similarity transformation of coordinates. The proposed interval state estimator guaranteed bounds on the observed states that are consistent with the system states. The observer convergence is also ensured. The designed method is simple and easy to be implemented. Two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
The paper presents the results of research work on the development of a rapidprototyping test stand for testing: servo control algorithms, trajectory generation, algorithms for increasing overall quality of the feed-drive modules within two axis (X-Y) table of the milling machine. Open architecture interface of the prepared control system lets the potential user test functionality of integration of diagnostic tools within the motion controller - directly, without taking into account communication with top-level CNC system.
