Proportional-integral feedback

We will assume constant holdups in the reflux drum Aij> and in the column base Mg. Proportional-integral feedback controllers at both ends of the column will change the reflux flow rate and the vapor boilup V to control overhead composition and bottoms composition Xg at setpoint values of 0.98 and 0.02 respectively.

The eantilever oseillation amplitude is kept constant within a few Angstroms by a digital proportional/integral feedback controller. A second feedback controller was used to keep the distance between tip and sample surfaee constant via keeping the frequeney shift of the cantilever oscillation at a preset value. 

Some of the inherent advantages of the feedback control strategy are as follows regardless of the source or nature of the disturbance, the manipulated variable(s) adjusts to correct for the deviation from the setpoint when the deviation is detected the proper values of the manipulated variables are continually sought to balance the system by a trial-and-error approach no mathematical model of the process is required and the most often used feedback control algorithm (some form of proportional—integral—derivative control) is both robust and versatile. 

Process-variable feedback for the controller is achieved by one of two methods. The process variable can (I) be measured and transmitted to the controller by using a separate measurement transmitter with a 0.2-I.0-bar (3-15-psi pneumatic output, or (2) be sensed directly by the controller, which contains the measurement sensor within its enclosure. Controllers with integral sensing elements are available that sense pressure, differential pressure, temperature, and level. Some controller designs have the set point adjustment knob in the controller, making set point adjustment a local and manual operation. Other types receive a set point from a remotely located pneumatic source, such as a manual air set regulator or another controller, to achieve set point adjustment. There are versions of the pneumatic controller that support the useful one-, two-, and three-mode combinations of proportional, integral, and derivative actions. Other options include auto/manual transfer stations, antireset windup circuitry, on/off control, and process-variable and set point indicators.

As discussed in Chap. 7, the three common commercial feedback controllers are proportional (P), proportionaMntegral (PI) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID), The transfer functions for these devices are developed below. 

An ideal three-mode PID (proportional, integral, and derivative) feedback controller is described by the equation ... 

There are two frequently used algorithms to determine the control action in a feedback control system for bioprocess control, an on-off (two-positioned) control, and a PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control. 

The controller has tuning parameters related to proportional, integral, derivative, lag, dead time, and sampling functions. A negative feedback loop will oscillate if the controller gain is too high but if it is too low, control will be ineffective. The controller parameters must be properly related to the process parameters to ensure closed-loop stability while still providing effective control. This relationship is accomplished, first,... 

In the multiloop controller strategy each manipulated variable controls one variable in a feedback proportional integral derivative (PID) control loop. Taking a single-feed, two-product distillation column with a total condenser and a reboiler as an example, a basic list of possible controlled variables includes the distillate and bottoms compositions, the liquid levels in the reflux accumulator and the column bottom, and the column pressure. The main manipulated variables are the reflux, distillate, and bottoms flow rates and the condenser and reboiler heat duties. 

Fortunately, we can select the most appropriate type of feedback controller using only general qualitative considerations stemming from the analysis in Chapter 14. There we had examined the effect of the proportional, integral, and derivative control modes on the response of a system. In summary, the conclusions were as follows ... 

There are three basic types of feedback controllers (1) proportional, (2) proportional-integral, and (3) proportional-integral-derivative. The details of construction may differ among the various manufacturers, but their functions are essentially the same. Let us study each one separately. 

Let us now examine how the response of a normal, uncontrolled process is changed when a simple proportional, integral, or derivative feedback controller is incorporated. In this section we consider only the proportional controller and its effect on the most commonly encountered first- and second-order systems. The effects of integral and derivative control actions will be studied in the following two sections.
