Tuning Rules For Pi And Pid Control Of Time Delayed Processes: Some Recent Developments, Aidan O'Dwyer

Conference papers

The ability of PI and PID controllers to compensate many practical processes has led to their wide acceptance in industrial applications. The requirement to choose two or three controller parameters is most easily done using tuning rules. Starting with a general discussion of industrial practice, the paper will discuss, in particular, recent work in tuning rule development for processes with time delay.


Enhancing Process Performance Through Automatic Control, Aidan O'Dwyer Jan 2004

Enhancing Process Performance Through Automatic Control, Aidan O'Dwyer

Conference papers

The proportional integral derivative (PID) controller is the most dominant form of automatic controller in industrial use today. With this technique, it is necessary to adjust the controller parameters according to the nature of the process. Thus, for effective control of a pasteurisation process, for example, specific values need to be chosen for the P, I and D parameters, which will be different for the values required to control, for example, a distillation column. This tailoring of controller to process is known as controller tuning.
