Abstract: A new proposal for an adaptive intelligent Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) back-stepping nonlinear control law equation design and implementation for a strong nonlinear Magnetic ball Levitation (MagLev) system is introduced in this study. The aim of the suggested adaptive controller is to retain and stabilize the position of the magnetic ball to be suspended in a desired position within the magnetic field. The on-line Intelligent Bat Optimization (IBO) algorithm is used to find and tune the positive gain variables of the proposed adaptive control law based on Lyapunov method. These gain variables are used to obtain a suitable voltage action for the nonlinear system. The adaptive back-stepping technique is implemented by using FPGA Kit based on the schematic design of the Xilinx development tool Integrated Software Environment (ISE) with a high level programming language which named the Verilog. This language is used for testing the on line operation of the adaptive intelligent FPGA-Back-Stepping controller. The numerical simulation results along with the experimental work illustrate the improved performance of the proposed adaptive intelligent FPGA-back-stepping controller in terms of error reduction for the magnetic ball position and the smooth voltage control action. These results were confirmed by a comparative study with different nonlinear controller types.
