Integrated controls

If improvements should be achieved by an automation of the inspection process this requires a control of the process parameters of the whole equipment by an integrated "intelligent" system and not by displays still being controlled by the human inspector. This integrated control-system ensures that the inspection conditions are at the highest reproduction level. 

ProportionaJ-plus-Integral (PI) Control Integral action eliminates the offset described above by moving the controller output at a rate proportional to the deviation from set point. Although available alone in an integral controller, it is most often combined with proportional action in a PI controller ... 

When designing a control system for a turbocompressor, it must be realized that surge protection and capacity control are parts of the same problem. Therefore, an integrated control solution is needed. 

To get good control of the entire PRT, not only should the expander be controlled, but a completely integrated control system for this application should be designed. Most conventional control systems consist of individual control loops that only consider their specific tasks. The PRT—from a control perspective—is a multivariable system that requires integration between the different control loops. Further, some of the disturbances on the PRT are so fast that closed-loop control is too slow to keep the train under control. 

Sun, wind, and elements to make windows power-generation sources rather than energy losers will occur in the future. Designers, planners, and window industry visionaries foresee windows as dynamic, integrated, controllable appliances in the walls. Windows of the future may very well be automated home systems that serve many purposes. The technologies listed below are only a few in a list of hundreds that may improve efficiency, performance, and visibility. 

Electronic expansion valves are nowwidelyused on small automatic systems, mainly as the refrigerant flow control de vice (evaporating or condensing) in an integrated control circuit. 

An integrated control circuit with an electronic expansion valve can he arranged to permit the condensing pressure to fall, providing the valve can pass the refrigerant flow required to meet the load. This gives lower compressor energy costs. 

Integrated control systems are mainly found on factory-assembled equipment, but the increased use of programmable logic controllers for process control is giving designers and installation mechanics the experience to apply these methods to custom-built refrigeration systems [26]. 

Integrated control system This includes various safety, monitoring, and control systems, including a reactor protection system. 

That is, without some measure of control, the process is unstable and will diverge from the set point. Unlike a stationary process, which will achieve a steady state at some point, a non-stationary process requires some sort of integral control.

Allow the tank to achieve steady-state operation in the absence of control (Kc = 0). Use the resulting process reaction curve to estimate combined proportional and integral control parameters. Then use the obtained steady-state values as the initial values for a following sequence of runs.

Add control (KC positive) and experiment first with proportional control (TI very large) to measure the offset. Add integral control and see the effect.

On the plus side, the integration of the error allows us to detect and eliminate very small errors. To make a simple explanation of why integral control can eliminate offsets, refer back to our intuitive explanation of offset with only a proportional controller. If we desire e = 0 at steady state, and to shift controller output p away from the previous bias ps, we must have a nonzero term. Here, it is provided by the integral in Eq. (5-5). That is, as time progresses, the integral term takes on a final nonzero value, thus permitting the steady state error to stay at zero. 

Because of the inherent underdamped behavior, we must be careful with the choice of the proportional gain. In fact, we usually lower the proportional gain (or detune the controller) when we add integral control. 

We certainly want to respond very differently if the temperature of a chemical reactor is changing at a rate of 100°C/s as opposed to l°C/s. In a way, we want to "project" the error and make corrections accordingly. In contrast, proportional and integral controls are based on the present and the past. Derivative controller action is based on how fast the error is changing with time (rate action control). We can write...

Do not be confused by the function of integral control its pole at the origin is an open-loop pole. This point should clear up when we get to the root locus section. 

Integral control adds additional phase lag (-90°) at low frequencies below the comer frequency l/x . 

Figure 9.2. State feedback with integral control.

You may notice that nothing that we have covered so far does integral control as in a PID controller. To implement integral action, we need to add one state variable as in Fig. 9.2. Here, we integrate the error [r(t) -, (t) to generate the new variable xn+1. This quantity is multiplied by the additional feedback gain Kn+1 before being added to the rest of the feedback data. 

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. 

Do the time response simulation in Example 7.5B. We found that the state space system has a steady state error. Implement integral control and find the new state feedback gain vector. Perform a time response simulation to confirm the result. 

Integral control will add an open-loop pole at the origin. Again, we have two regions where we can put the open-loop zero ...
