Balancing techniques are used in great many controlling problems. The inverted pendulum problem is often used as a benchmark. The theoretical background is well-known and easy to treat. A commercially available Rexroth axis controller and a CKK compact module are used to control the input of the system, which is usually applied in industrial fields. A test bench has been designed and built. A PLC based program has been developed to swing up the pendulum from the rest location to inverted position and LQR controller is designed to balance the system.application/pdffolyóiratcikkOpen Accessby the authorshttps://doi.org/10.21791/IJEMS.2019.1.22.International Journal of Engineering and Management Sciences142498-700X
