In this paper, the iterative learning control (ILC) literature published between 1998 and 2004 is categorized and discussed, extending the earlier reviews presented by two of the authors. The papers includes a general introduction to ILC and a technical description of the methodology. The selected results are reviewed, and the ILC literature is categorized into subcategories within the broader division of application-focused and theory-focused results.

Iterative learning control and repetitive control in hard disk drive industry—A tutorial

This paper presents a tutorial on iterative learning control (ILC) and repetitive control (RC) techniques in hard disk drive (HDD) industry for compensation of repeatable runouts (RRO). After each tutorial, an application example is given. For ILC, a simple filtering-free implementation for written-in RRO compensation is presented. For the RC part, a new application of RC in dual stage HDD servo is presented. Finally, the widely used adaptive feedforward control (AFC) technique is explained from ILC point of view with discussions on challenges and issues in implementation in HDD industry.

Iterative Learning Control and Repetitive Control in Hard Disk Drive Industry - A Tutorial

A method and apparatus for compensating for written-in repeatable runout in a disc drive is provided. Compensation values are determined through an iterative learning process in which parameters of the learning process such as learning gain, servo loop gain, etc. are functions of the iteration number. The learning process also employs a nominal double integrator model of an actuator of the disc storage system. The learning process is also a function of a zero-phase low-pass filter.

Repeatable runout compensation using a learning algorithm with scheduled parameters

A repetitive learning compensator for a servo system of a disc drive includes a memory buffer having a length N/m where N is the number of servo sectors in a track, m is a parsing factor greater than 1 and N/m is an integer. A down sampler supplies servo signals containing error signals to the repetitive learning compensator at a frequency of f s /m, where f s is a sampling frequency based on N and a fundamental frequency f 0 of the spindle motor. An up sampler supplies filtered signals from the repetitive learning compensator to the actuator assembly at the sampling frequency f s . One aspect of the disclosure includes tuning the repetitive learning compensator with a phase advance represented by N PA and a cutoff frequency f c , where N PA and f c are selected as a pair to provide the greatest transfer function amplitude at the harmonic frequencies for the repetitive learning compensator.

Optimally designed parsimonious repetitive learning compensator for hard disc drives having high track density

A method of handling multiple resonance frequencies in a disc drive includes monitoring a position error signal (PES) for an actuator arm, generating a plurality of feedforward compensation signals from the PES using a plurality of bandpass filters, and applying the compensation signals to a servo control signal. Each filter has a center frequency that is set to a problematic resonance frequency. The method may also include identifying the problematic frequencies by, for example, commanding a movement of the actuator arm, collecting data points for the PES that are associated with the movement, and performing a digital fourier transform of the data points to identify resonant frequencies. Other methods of identifying problematic frequencies include analyzing PES zero-crossing data, or using principal component analysis.

Method and apparatus for handling multiple resonance frequencies in disc drives using active damping

A low cost sensorless technique for attenuating an actuating force experienced by the actuator arm assembly due to an external vibration and shock during a track following operation includes, in one example embodiment, measuring an applied signal and a position error signal during the track following operation within a sampling time. Then, the method includes the step of computing an acceleration signal from the measured position error signal. Further, the method includes comparing the acceleration signal with the applied signal to obtain a correction signal. Then, the force experienced by the actuator arm due to the external vibration and shock is attenuated by filtering the correction signal using one or more low-pass frequency filters.

Efficient sensorless rotational vibration and shock compensator for hard disk drives with higher TPI

A disc drive includes a base and a disc rotatably attached to the base. The disc drive also includes an actuator assembly rotatably attached to said base and a device for moving the actuator assembly. The actuator assembly includes an actuator arm and a transducer head in a transducing relationship with respect to the disc. The transducer is attached to the actuator arm. A method for screening disc drives for resonant frequencies associated with the actuator arm includes the steps of following a track within the disc drive, and selectively boosting the servo control signal. The method further includes a step of monitoring a position error signal from a transducer attached to an actuator arm of a disc drive. The position error signal is monitored by filtering the position error signal using a bandpass filter. Boosting the servo control loop includes tuning the magnitude of the booster signal gain.
