The technique of tuning the controller parameters on the transient response of the control object with automatic compensation

 

Defining the parameters of the transfer function, of course, is an important task that requires a serious scientific approach, which is reflected in the literature [1,2]. This paper describes the technique of tuning parameters of the controller circuit controls on experimental transient response.

Initial data: the transition process and the transition function of the object are given, the transition function of the object is normalized (Figure 1).

Identification of the parameters of the transfer function with usage of the transient response

The first step is to produce identification system to create the model. To do this, find the point of inflection with the link of differentiation (Figure 2).

From the graph in Figure 2 the maximum value of the derivative falls on 118.48 s. This is the point of inflection. Next, you draw a tangent to the transfer function at the found inflection point (Figure 3). From the figure we can find two time constants, namely: τ = 65.8 s and T = 146.7 s.

Find the area S of the figure formed by a given curve and the transient response of the direct output equal to one (Figure 4). We can find that S = 150.27.

The model describing the object with automatic compensation is in the form:

         ,                      (1)

where         

     

     

Thus, the scheme of the simulation of the estimated model of the control object will have the form shown in Figure 5.

As can be seen in the Figure 5, the transient response of the original control object and valuation models are similar with a sufficient degree of accuracy.

Setting up the PI-controller

Let PI-controller for the resulting model be set up now. The desired transfer function for open system is as follows:

                                                                        (2)

Since , then:

                                                                            (3)

Suppose . Then:

                                                  (4)

Where   is found from the formulas (2) and (4).

The scheme of simulation of the evaluation model of the system with PI-controller is shown in Figure 6. The simulation result of the system is shown in Figure 7.

We use the obtained controller for the original system, but not for its model. The scheme of the simulation in this case is shown in Figure 8, and the simulation result is shown in Figure 9.

Conclusions

In this paper, we have developed the technique of the setting of the parameters of the controller which was based on the experimental transient response. It was established the evaluation model of the control object, and for this model it was designed PI-controller, and then it was applied to the initial system. According to the simulation results, it is shown that the transient response became a little worse, because the controller is not setup to the system itself, but for its evaluation. However, this method allows you to quickly and with a good quality to design the controller with automatic compensation for the control object.
