A new control method is presented using the holonic concept on a universal learning network (ULN). The holonic concept was proposed by Arthur Koestler in 1905. Its aim is to harmonize entire systems with partial systems that have hierarchal structures. On the other hand, a ULN that models and controls large‐scale complicated systems such as industrial plants and, economic, social, and life phenomena is proposed. In this paper, a holonic control system based on the holonic concept and ULN is presented. From simulation results from a nonlinear crane system, it has been proved that holonic control can harmonize the system rather than optimize it, which used to be the conventional method in control engineering. © 1998 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 124(4): 64–72, 1998
