Control of a Linear Electric Actuator Using Control

System Tuner

This example shows how to use the Control System Tuner app to tune the current and

velocity loops in a linear electric actuator with saturation limits.

Linear Electric Actuator Model

Open the Simulink model of the linear electric actuator:

open_system('rct_linact')

The electrical and mechanical components are modeled using Simscape Electrical and

Simscape Multibody. The control system consists of two cascaded feedback loops

controlling the driving current and angular speed of the DC motor.
