Abstract: A towing winch control system based on industrial ethernet and programmable logic controller is designed for a new cable laying ship. An automatic cable arrangement system and a constant tension controller based on the fuzzy adaptive P+ID algorithm are proposed to improve the intelligence of the towing winch control system. The comparative studies of the proposed constant tension controller based on the fuzzy adaptive P+ID and conventional PID controllers were conducted, and the simulation results show that the fuzzy adaptive P+ID controller designed in this paper has a better performance than the PID controller. The real applications under harsh sea conditions demonstrated the robustness and effectiveness of the automatic cable arrangement system and the constant tension controller.

Key words: cable laying ship; constant tension winch; industrial ethernet; fuzzy adaptive P+ID; PID controller
