Derivative-action time

In equation (4.91), is called the derivative action time, and is formally defined as The time interval in which the part of the control signal due to proportional action increases by an amount equal to the part of the control signal due to derivative action when the error is changing at a constant rate (BS 1523). 

Here Tj is known as the derivative action time . Assuming that the error is increasing at a constant rate, the derivative action time is the time taken for... 

Derivative-action time is defined as the amount of lead, in seconds, that the derivative action advances the effect of pure proportional action. Figure 24.7 illustrates a proportional-plus-derivative controller. 

Tv . derivative action time, changing D behavior (large Ty value = large D contribution). 

Derivative action is never used by itself. The simplest implementation is a proportional-derivative (PD) controller. The time-domain equation and the transfer function of an "ideal" PD controller are ... 

C DERIVATIVE ACTION. The purpose of derivative action (also called rate or preact) is to anticipate where the process is heading by looking at the time rate of change of the controlled variable (its derivative). If we were able to take the derivative of the error signal (which we cannot do perfectly, as we will explain more fully in Chap. 10), we would have ideal derivative action. 

By inserting a restrictor in the line to the proportional bellows, any change in P will not be transmitted immediately to the feedback system. Thus, initially, the arrangement shown in Fig. 7.117 will behave as a narrow-band proportional controller changing to wide-band action as the pressure in the feedback bellows Pd approaches P. The rate at which PD - P depends upon the resistance to flow RDr through the derivative restrictor. This mechanism thus simulates derivative action in that it is most sensitive when the error is changing the most rapidly (Section 7.2.3). The derivative time rd is varied by adjusting Rdr-... 

Table 8-2 summarizes these rules for minimum-lAE load response for the most common controllers. The process gain and time constant im are obtained from the product of Gt, and Gp in Fig. 8-23. Derivative action is not effective for dead-time-dominant processes. Any secondary lag, sampling interval, or filter time constant should be added to dead time 0. 

This design may yield controllers which are quite sensitive to model errors and require high order derivative action. If the dead time in P(s) is the same as the dead time in G(s), the controller contains dead time compensation, as in the Smith predictor. Bristol (42) has extended this idea to apply to multivariable systems, although he treats the controller in a more general form, allowing a pre-compensation block before G(s) and a postcompensation block after G(s) in the direct path between r(s) and y(s). 

Mono-, di- and tetra-nitro derivatives of carbazole have been obtained. Among them only tetranitrocarbazole is of practical importance. It was used in Germany under the name of Nitrosan as an insecticide. During World War II it was used under the name of Gelbmehl in combustible compositions for delayed action time fuses. 

Quantitative models and numerical computations are and will continue to be central in the implementation of model-predictive feedback controllers. Unfortunately, numerical computations alone are weak or not robust in answering questions such as the following How well is a control system running Are the disturbances normal Why is derivative action not needed in a loop What loops need dead time compensation, and should it be increased or reduced Have the stability margins of certain loops changed and, if so, how should the controllers be automatically retuned ... 

Derivative action (D) The rate of adjustment of the input variable is proportional to the time rate of change of the error (i.e., de/dt).

PID controllers are useful for certain sluggish processes. Typical applications are temperature control and composition control. A sluggish process often has a tendency to cycle under PI control due to inertia therefore, derivative action tends to reduce the tendency to cycling and allows more proportional action to be used, both of which contribute to improved control performance. A key issue here is to determine whether a process is sluggish enough to warrant a PID controller. Assume that an FOPDT model has been fit to an open-loop step test. If the resulting deadtime, 0, and time constant, x, are such that... 

Add derivative action and tune for minimum response time. Initially set x, equal to P /8, where P comes from the ATV test. 

Chloramben is a synthetic benzoic acid derivative acting as an auxin. It is selective because some plants (soya beans) detoxicate it by making stable N-glucosides of it. It has low adsorbtion in soil and may be active in the soil for several weeks. Picloram is an example of a pyridinecarboxylic acid, which has been widely used alone or mixed with other herbicides. It is taken up by the roots, has a long action time, and leakage from the site of application may occur. It was marketed since 1963 by the Dow Chemical Company. 

To illustrate the influence of each control mode, consider the control system responses shown in Figure 9.4. These curves illustrate the typical response of a controlled process for different types of feedback control after the process experiences a sustained disturbance. Without control the process slowly reaches a new steady state that differs from the desired steady state. The effect of proportional control is to speed up the process response and reduce the offset. The addition of integral control eliminates offset but tends to make the response more oscillatory. Adding derivative action reduces the degree of oscillation and the response time, ...
