N2 - This paper presents a control design approach for robust sheet control in a printer paper path. By splitting up the control problem into low level motor control loops and a high level sheet control loop, a hierarchical control structure is obtained. Based on the piecewise linear model of the high level sheet dynamics, the control design is formulated in the H8 framework. The resulting dynamic output feedback controllers guarantee stability and performance of the closed-loop system. To show the effectiveness of the control design approach in practice, the robust sheet controllers are successfully implemented on an experimental paper path setup.
