Design of a Decentralized Controller for a Glass-RTP System

초록/요약

Design of a decentralized controller has been studied as an integral part of the development of a commercial rapid thermal processing (RTP) system for display glass manufacturing. The glass-RTP system uses bulb-type tungsten-halogen lamps for heating. Highly uniform temperature distribution of less than 6oC of maximum temperature gap is required during glass processing irrespective of the size of glass. To design a decentralized controller to attain this requirement, problems of optimal senor location, lamp grouping, optimization-based controller tuning, and time-varying feedforward input were addressed and solved. The performance of the controller was investigated experimentally as well as numerically.
