ABSTRACT
HEADNOTEA central idea involved in the design of a dynamic system is the modeling and manipulation of that system. By applying physical
When attempting to build a model, a compromise must be made between the simplicity of the model and the accuracy of the results. Results from an analysis are valid only to the extent that the model approximates a given physical system [8]. At the same time, in order to use fewer components in hardware implementation or to obtain a more reliable implementation, it is useful to construct a low-order controller.
A whole roller carding system is a high-order complicated model. An overly complex model may contain parameters that are virtually impossible to estimate, may be practically impossible to analyze, and may cloud important results in a welter of irrelevant detail even if it actually can be analyzed [2]. Generally, a high-order dynamic system contains poles of lower importance that have little effect on the system response. Eliminating such nondominant poles can perhaps yield a low-order approximating system, so that the analysis and design effort can be reduced.
In this paper, we present a method of reducing the high-order system for a whole roller carding system and verify the accuracy of the simplified model. At the same time, we show the simplicity and effectiveness of both conventional and modern control.

Conclusions
In this paper, we present a method for appreciably reducing the order of a whole roller carding system, we show a way of analyzing the system in order to shed light on its behavior, and we develop a technique for using a computer to simulate the response of the design system. The original fifth-order system successfully reduces to a single degree of freedom model. We provide the accuracy criterion of the amplitude characteristics and the steady-state behavior of the two systems. At the same time, we present both the conventional and modem control schemes to show the analysis and design effort. The computer simulations demonstrate a very good model reduction technique and corresponding controller performance.
