Abstract: The dynamic model develop from physical relationship of an Electro Magnetic Levitation System (EMLS) is considered in this study to propose a unified framework for controller design. The EMLS is discretised using delta operator. The delta operator representation is implicitly discrete-time formulation which converges to its continuous-time counterparts at high sapling frequency. The EMLS is inherently unstable and strongly non-linear in nature which is linearised and different classical control scheme such as PD, Lead, Lag-lead, PID and combination of PI and Lead compensators are designed to meet the requirement of the overall controlled system stability and performance. The simulation results exhibit the usefulness of the proposed schemes.
