Closed loop system sampling

In summary, NMR spectroscopy is an extremely versatile tool useful that enables researchers to understand the structure of natural products such as carotenoids. For a full structural assignment, the compound of interest has to be separated from coeluents. Thus, it is a prerequisite to employ tailored stationary phases with high shape selectivity for the separation in the closed-loop on-line LC-NMR system. For the NMR detection, microcoils prove to be advantageous for small quantities of sample. Overall, the closed-loop system of HPLC and NMR detection is very advantageous for the structural elucidation of air- and UV-sensitive carotenoids. 

Consider a ZOH inserted in a closed-loop system as shown in Fig. 1.92b. The combined output of the sampler and the ZOH can be considered as a series of positive and negative step changes of equal magnitude occurring at successive sampling instants (Fig. 7.92a), i.e. 

Closed-loop systems will also require an analysis of recirculating and makeup waters. Finding a good point for sampling is often difficult.

On the other hand, if there is an external excitation, then it is easier to perform closed-loop identification. However, if the excitation is much weaker than the disturbance, the model given by Eq. (6.58) will be determined. Thus, the signal-to-noise ratio is extremely important in closed-loop identification. Also, identification depends on the model structure that has been determined for the process. If the model structure chosen for Gp and G/ is different from the structure of G then the model can be identified even if the excitation is weak. Since most controllers do not have any sample time delays, if the structure chosen for Gp has at least one-sample time delay (as it should if it is a discrete system), then the closed-loop system can be easily identified even with a weak excitation. 

We begin by assuming that the unit step response y t) is approximately equal to unity for t >Ts, where Ts is the desired closed-loop settling time. We also assume that the closed-loop system is sampled with an interval At. It is well known that, at the sampling instants, the continuous-time step response is equal to the discrete-time step response. This property is called step response invariance with respect to discretization. Therefore, the results developed in Chapter 5 between the frequency sampling filter model and a discrete-time step response model can be applied. 

Dynamics of Process Measurements Especially where the measurement device is incorporated into a closed loop control configuration, dynamics are important. The dynamic characteristics depend on the nature of the measurement device, and also on the nature of components associated with the measurement device (for example, thermowells and sample conditioning equipment). The term mea-.sui ement system designates the measurement device and its associated components.
