Physical Information-Driven Optimization Framework for Neural Network-Based PI Controllers in PMSM Servo Systems

In industrial scenarios, the control of permanent magnet synchronous servo motors is mostly achieved with proportional–integral controllers, which require manual adjustment of control parameters. At the same time, the performance of the servo system is usually disturbed by internal characteristic changes, load changes, and external factors. Therefore, preset control parameters may not achieve the desired optimal performance. Many scholars use intelligent algorithms, such as neural networks, to adaptively tune control parameters. However, the offline pre-training of neural networks is often time- and resource-consuming. Due to the lack of a model pre-training process in the neural network online self-tuning process, randomly setting the initial network weight seriously affects the position tracking performance of the servo control system in the start-up phase. In this paper, the physical model and the traditional frequency domain-tuning method of the three-closed-loop permanent magnet synchronous servo system are analyzed. Combined with the neural network PI control parameter self-tuning method and physical symmetry, a physical information-driven optimization framework is proposed. To demonstrate its superiority, the neural network PI controller and the proposed optimization framework are used to control the single-axis sine wave trajectory. The results show that the optimization framework proposed can effectively improve the position tracking control performance of the servo control system in the start-up phase by setting the threshold of the servo control parameters, reduce the position tracking control error to 0.75 rads in the start-up phase, and reduce the position tracking drop caused by a sudden load by 25%. This method achieves the independent optimization adjustment of control parameters under position tracking control, providing a reference for the intelligent control of permanent magnet synchronous servo motors.
