All tuning relations provide different results. Generally, the Cohen and Coon relation has the largest proportional gain and the dynamic response tends to be the most underdamped. The Ciancone-Marlin relation provides the most conservative setting, and it uses a very small derivative time constant and a relatively large integral time constant. In a way, their correlation reflects a common industrial preference for PI controllers. 

Based on experience that the derivative time constant should be smaller than the integral time constant, we should pick the larger time constant as the integral time constant. Thus we select Xi to be the integral time constant and x2 the derivative time constant. In the limit xi X2, both arrangements (E6-2 and 3) of the controller function are the same. 

A larger value of integral time constant will limit the frequency range where the controller introduces phase lag. This is one reason why choosing a large Xj tends to be more stable than a system with a small X. 1... 

We have yet to tackle the PI controller. There are, of course, different ways to find a good integral time constant. With frequency response, we have the handy tool of the Ziegler-Nichols ultimate cycle tuning relations. So with Kcu = 60 and cocg = 3.3 rad/min, we find by referring to... 

The state feedback gain including integral control K is [0 1.66 -4.99], Unlike the simple proportional gain, we cannot expect that Kn+1 = 4.99 would resemble the integral time constant in classical PI control. To do the time domain simulation, the task is similar to the hints that we provide for Example 7.5B in the Review Problems. The actual statements will also be provided on our Web Support. 

Note that the system remains stable in all cases, as it should for a first or second order system. One final question Based on the design guidelines by which the system should respond faster than the process and the system should be slightly underdamped, what are the ranges of derivative and integral time constants that you would select for the PD, PI, and PID controllers And in what region are the desired closed-loop poles ... 

We ll finish with implementing the P, PI and PD controllers on a second order overdamped process. As in the exercise above, try to calculate the derivative or integral time constants, and take a minute to observe the plots and see what may lead to better controller designs. 

You may want to try some sample calculations using a PID controller. One way of thinking we need to add a second open-loop zero. We can limit the number of cases if we assume that the value of the derivative time constant is usually smaller than the integral time constant. 

If the slurry is fed to the filter by a centrifugal pump that delivers (approximately) a constant head, or if the filter is operated by a controlled vacuum, the pressure drop will remain essentially constant during operation and the flow rate will drop as the cake thickness (resistance) increases. In this case, Eq. (13-36) can be integrated for constant pressure to give... 

Figure 20 illustrates a process using an integral controller to maintain a constant flow rate. Also included is the equivalent block diagram of the controller. 

If the measured variable decreases from its initial value of 50 gpm to a new value of 45 gpm, as seen in Figure 21, a positive error of 5% is produced and applied to the input of the integral controller. The controller has a constant of 0.1 seconds 1, so the controller output rate of change is 0.5% per second. 

An integral controller provides an output rate of change that is determined by the magnitude of the error and the integral constant. 

Choose a suitable temperature setpoint and simulate the reactor with control, first with proportional control only and then including integral control. Adjust the controller constants to obtain adequate control. 

The considerations so far rely on constant heating power, and the way how this power is applied to the microhotplate does not play a role. In fact, a monolithically integrated control circuitry does not apply constant power but acts as an adjustable current source. Moreover, for measuring the thermal time constant experimentally, either a rectangular voltage or rectangular current pulse is applied. Analyzing the dynamic temperature response of the system leads to a measured time constant, which...

Fig. 6.4 Temporal behavior of the normalized signal S when a glucose pulse is applied, increasing the glucose from 5 mM to 10 mM and lasting for 60 min. The PI control features are clearly seen, starting with a rapid proportional response, followed by a slow integral control. Increasing the time constant k-, responsible for the integral control, results in a faster saturation of the response. The smallest and maximal value of the active fraction is Xq = 0.2 and Xmax = 0-8 respectively.

If integral rate constants are compared at constant reaction time, variable temperature and conversion, a different, much lower value of Eact is calculated. This tends to be in the range of 40-50 kcal/mol. The low value results from the fact that product inhibition is an increasing function of conversion and therefore of temperature. At the highest experimental temperature the overall rate is most depressed from the zero time uninhibited rate. This low value of Eact has otherwise no particular theoretical significance. However, it may, under controlled conditions, be used for practical modeling (3). 

The parameter X/ is called the integral time constant. For a rgactor it is the order of magnitude at the space-time. Integral control action can also be expressed by the coupled set of equations... 

Height calibration (z) Monoatomic steps on the Au(lll) surface and a nanogrid with defined z-height have proven to be good standards for the z-calibration of an STM. In many respects the calibration procedure for the vertical axis (z-axis) is comparable to that for the lateral axes, however, the vertical movements are often much faster (in order to follow the object s topography or more accurately its electronic contour), than in the lateral directions. In order to obtain accurate results, the parameters of the feedback control system (e.g. proportional factor P and integration time constant I), that influence the dynamic behavior of the SPM in z-direction, need to be adjusted... 

Unlike integral control this action by itself provides no control, since it gives a sustained controller output for a constantly changing input. The output does not depend on the amount of deviation but only on how fast the deviation is changing. 

Here xp and Kp are the process time constant and static gain, respectively, and Kc and T/ are the gain and the integral time constant for the PI controller.
