Limits of a simplified controller design based on integral plus dead time models
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering, 2018
This article presents design and evaluation of filtered proportional–integral controllers and filtered Smith predictor–inspired constrained dead time compensators. Both are based on the integral plus dead time and on the first-order time delayed plant models. They are compared as for tuning simplicity, robustness and noise attenuation. Such a comparison, which presents a robustness test regarding the importance of the internal plant feedback approximation, may be carried out by performance measures built on deviations of the input and output transient responses from their ideal shapes. When combined with integral of absolute error measures of both solution types with the disturbance responses set as nearly equivalent, we can see that the filtered Smith predictor setpoint responses may be significantly faster than the filtered proportional–integral controller responses, more robust and, using higher-order filters, also sufficiently smooth. Furthermore, tuning of the possibly higher-o...

The time delay element present in the PI controller brings dead-time compensation capability and shows improved performance for dead-time processes. However, design of robust time delayed PI controller needs much responsiveness for uncertainty in dead-time processes. Hence in this paper, robustness of time delayed PI controller has been analyzed for First Order plus Dead-Time (FOPDT) process model. The process having dead-time greater than three times of time constant is very sensitive to dead-time variation. A first order filter is introduced to ensure robustness. Furthermore, integral time constant of time delayed PI controller is modified to attain better regulatory performance for the lag-dominant processes. The FOPDT process models are classified into dead-time/lag dominated on the basis of dead-time to time constant ratio. A unified tuning method is developed for processes with a number of dead-time to time constant ratio. Several simulation examples and experimental evaluation are exhibited to show the efficiency of the proposed unified tuning technique. The applicability to the process models other than FOPDT such as high-order, integrating, right half plane zero systems are also demonstrated via simulation examples.
A new dead-time compensator to control stable and integrating processes with long dead-time
2008
This paper presents a new dead-time compensator for stable and integrating processes when a reduced model of the process is considered. The output is estimated from a discrete time representation of the continuous time model and the tuning of the controllers can be made by any classical control design approach for systems without delay. The internal stability and the robust stability of the proposed scheme is proved and a deep analysis of the disturbance rejection performance is included. As a result, a tuning procedure is derived. An illustrative example shows that the robustness and performance of the proposed scheme are similar or better to those of the more recently proposed dead-time compensators for stable and integrating processes, its capability to reject ramp disturbances being also addressed. The proposed scheme has been tested in a real-time application to control the roll angle in a laboratory prototype of a quad-rotor helicopter. ᭧

In practice, majority of the industrial chemical processes contain considerable dead time and significant process lag. Depending on the value of dead time to time constant ratio, industrial processes can be classified as lag dominating and delay dominating in nature. Here, an attempt has been made to find out an improved dead time estimation technique from the available methodologies like Taylor series and Pade's approximation relations so that a more accurate process model can be obtained and, consequently, an enhanced model-based internal model control based proportional, integral, and derivative (IMC-PID) controller may be designed. In addition, to ensure an improved closed loop performance, a second-order filter is incorporated in IMC-PID structure where damping term of the filter is calculated from dead time to time constant ratio of the concerned process. Efficacy of the proposed scheme is verified through simulation study on first-order plus dead time, second-order plus dead time, higher order, and nonminimum phase processes in comparison with recently reported model-based PID settings. In addition to simulation study, a realtime experimental verification is also made on a level control loop under transient and steady state operating phases.
First-order controllers design for second-order integrating systems with time delay
2013 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (CCA), 2013
A new method is presented to design the firstorder controllers for second-order time-delay integrating systems that have an unstable pole at the origin and a stable pole in the left-half plane. In the first step the stable pole of the under controlled system is removed by the zero of the controller. Then by using the D-partition technique the entire stabilizing set is obtained in the plane of the remaining controller parameters. Finally some formulas and charts are derived for achieving the desired specifications. Simulation example is given to illustrate the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed procedure.
A tuning procedure for the Cascade Proportional Integral Retarded Controller
IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2018
This work proposes a tuning methodology for the Cascade Proportional Integral Retarded (CPIR) controller applied to a class of second order systems. Unlike the Proportional Integral Retarded (PIR) control law, the CPIR is composed of two nested loops, each of them having its own controller. The inner loop is regulated through an Integral Retarded (IR) Controller and the outer loop uses a proportional (P) controller. It is worth remarking that the stability of both loops must be simultaneously guaranteed, a problem not appearing in the PIR controller. The proposed tuning methodology is based on the spectral abscissa analysis of the Outer loop. The IR controller tuning rules and a double root placement analysis in the CPIR quasy-polynomial allows writing an analytical form of the P proportional gain. Subsequently, this gain is computed by solving a transcendental nonlinear equation. The proposed tuning method is assessed by means of experiments in a laboratory prototype.
Tuning PID Controllers for Time-Delay Processes with Maximizing the Degree of Stability
In this paper, we propose a method of tuning PID controller parameters for first-order plus dead-time processes with the objective of maximizing the degree of stability. Since the presence of dead-time in a feedback loop gives rise to an infinite-dimensional closed-loop system, which has an infinite number of poles and thus the conventional Routh-Hurwitz algebraic criterion of stability cannot be applied to characterize the necessary conditions of the maximum degree of stability. To overcome this difficulty, we make use the theory of D-partition technique. Based on analytically characterizing the D-partition boundaries of the controller parameter space, necessary conditions of the maximum degree of stability are derived. With these derived conditions, the problem of maximizing the degree of stability is converted to a set of parametric optimization problems, whose solutions can be obtained by an existing method. For showing the applicability of the method, a tuning example with graphical illustrations is given.
