Performance And Robustness Issues In The Compensation Of Folpd Processes With Pi And Pid Controllers, Aidan O'Dwyer Jan 1998

Performance And Robustness Issues In The Compensation Of Folpd Processes With Pi And Pid Controllers, Aidan O'Dwyer

Conference papers

This paper will discuss the compensation of first order lag plus time delay (FOLPD) processes using PI and PID controllers whose parameters are specified using appropriate tuning rules. The gain margin, phase margin and maximum sensitivity of the compensated system as the ratio of time delay to time constant of the process varies, are used as ways of judging the performance and robustness of the system.

Compensation Of Processes With Time Delays, Thomas Heeg, Aidan O'Dwyer

Conference papers

Methods which allow comparisons in the use of PI and PID controller strategies for the control of first order lag plus time delay processes (FOLPD) are worthy of investigation because of the relative lack of work done in this area. In this paper, strategies for comparing performance and robustness for a PI or PID controlled FOLPD process are analysed and designed. The use of different PID controller structures for processes with time delay is also worth considering in detail. Various PID controller structures are compared by means of servo and regulator time responses, Bode plots and Nyquist plots.
