Usually the proportional gain. Limited to second order systems. No unique answer other than a P-controller. Theoretically can use other transient response criteria. 1/4 decay ratio provides a 50% overshoot.

There is a steadystatc error in the controlled variable when a P controller is used. This offset results because there is no integral term to drive the error to zero. 

J0i Use Laplace transforms to prove mathematically that a P controller produces steadystate ofiMt and that a PI controller does not. The disturbance is a step change in the load variable. The process openloop transfer functions, Gm and G[, are both liist-order lags with dUTerent gains but identical time constants. 

The liquid level in a tank is controlled by manipulating the flow out of the tank, using a P controller. The outflow rate is a function of only the valve position. The valve has linear installed eharacleristies and passes 20 ftVmin wide open.

Figure 7.5b gives Nyquist plots for the process with the furnace (FS2). First, note that the system is now openloop-sfaWe for values of reactor gain KR = 2, 3, which was not the case for the FS 1 flowsheet. Second, observe that even for reactor gains up to about KR = 8 it is possible to use a P controller to stabilize the system. Remember that we are talking about the GYi(s) controller, with the G<2ls) controller on automatic (Kcl = 2.13 and rn = 1-94). 

This improvement is true for both flowsheets, as a comparison of Figures 7.5 and 7.6 reveals. For example, in the process without the furnace, a P controller could not stabilize the system for KR = 5. However, the PI controller can stabilize the system. 

Loop 1 is cascaded with loop 2 to improve the response to disturbances in the cooling water temperature Tc w- The cooling water temperature is measured (TT2) and the signal sent to a second feedback controller TC2 which is normally a P-controller (see Figure 14). 

The SMBR plant is equipped with several sensors the temperature of the columns and the incoming streams are kept at around 60 °C by a closed heating water circuit that is controlled by a thermostat. Concentrations in the product line and in the recycling loop are measured online using a combination of a density measurement unit and a polarimeter (Jupke et ah, 2002). The pressure in the recycling loop (i.e. at the inlet of the recycling pump) is maintained constant using a P-controller that varies the extract flow rate. 

The above steps calculate the openloop response of the system with the input fixed. To calculate the closedloop response with a P controller manipulating Qi to control T3, we substitute for Q in Eq. (2.124) ... 

The proportional controller reacts immediately to an x-w jump with a proportional change in y. The ratio Aiv/Ay is known as the proportionality range Xp. The process leads to a value of x that generally deviates from the setpoint, that is, it is not possible to use a P controller to exacdy control x to the setpoint (permanent control deviation). 

Gas and liquid outlet flows were obtained by simulating a P-controller (equation 3) for which the liquid volume was evaluated from a step response experiment. 

Initial response Figure 1(a) shows the SDG for the DAE system. Initial response can be predicted by propagation through the shortest paths in this SDG. The controller effectively behaves as a P controller. Thus equation 4 and CSj can be eliminated from analysis. The remaining equations constitute model of a P controller. For non-zero disturbances or bias, the error, e / 0 (corresponds to imperfect control). Information flow is as expected. The SDG also shows the interaction between the control loop and the external system. 

Imperfect control is exhibited due to large external faults or control loop failure. The error signal is non-zero (Figure 1(a)). CS builds up till the controller saturates. Two scenarios are (i) large external disturbance, set point change or sensor bias in which the controller behaves as a P controller and, (ii) failure inside the control loop in which the control loop is open. Three types of failure are ... 

The PD controller obeys Eq. (88). It kicks in first very strongly the output then reverts back to a value that corresponds to the output of a P controller.
