SISTEM KONTROL POSISI MENGGUNAKAN FEEDBACK CONTROL PADA OVERHEAD CRANE

Abstract

Overhead cranes are essential equipment in the construction industry that require precise position control systems to optimize operational efficiency. This study aims to develop a position control system for overhead cranes using a feedback control approach, with the Arduino Mega 2560 as the main controller. The system is designed to optimally regulate AC motor speed, ensuring the crane reaches the desired setpoint with high precision and stability. The development involves programming a tailored Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control algorithm to enhance performance. Tests were conducted to evaluate the system's effectiveness in maintaining the crane's movement stability and accuracy. The results show that employing a Proportional (P) controller in the PID algorithm achieves optimal performance at a Kp value of 3. The system successfully reaches the setpoint with minimal overshoot and fast stabilization time. Moreover, the integration of hardware and software on the Arduino ensures reliable and efficient control. This study contributes significantly to advancing control technology for overhead cranes, which can be broadly applied in the construction industry to enhance safety and work productivity.
