An inverted pendulum, usually mounted on a cart actuated by an applied force, was designed and built for an existing hydraulically driven cart. Position information of the cart was acquired via a potentiometer, and a angular incremental encoder was used to sense the pendulum angle, which was collected by a computer containing a DAQ board and running Real-Time Windows Target software(included in simulink). A simulink graphical program was implemented as a controller of the hydraulic system that governed the motion of the cart in order to maintain vertical balance of the inverted pendulum. The purpose for this study is to develop a Electro hydraulic system for modeling and controling using a inverted pendulum system. After parts were designed and attained, the mechanical system was assembled for experimentation and analysis of results.
