Although a controller is well-tuned for set-point tracking, it shows poor control results for load disturbance rejection and vice versa. In this paper, a modified two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) control framework to solve this problem is proposed, and an optimal tuning method for the pa-rameters of each proportional integral derivative (PID) controller is discussed. The unique feature of the proposed scheme is that a feedforward controller is embedded in the parallel control structure to improve set-point tracking performance. This feedforward controller and the standard PID con-troller are combined to create a new set-point weighted PID controller with a set-point weighting function. Therefore, in this study, two controllers are used: a set-point weighted PID controller for set-point tracking and a conventional PID controller for load disturbance rejection. The parameters included in the two controllers are tuned separately to improve set-point tracking and load dis-turbance rejection performances, respectively. Each controller is optimally tuned by genetic algo-rithm (GA) in terms of minimizing the IAE performance index, and what is special at this time is that it also tunes the set-point weighting parameter simultaneously. The simulation results performed on four virtual processes verify that the proposed method shows better performance in set-point tracking and load disturbance rejection than those of the other methods.

This Paper Presents About The Synthesis Of Two-Degree-Of-Freedom Control Structure Based On Modified Smith Predictor Control For Higher Order Integrating Processes With Time Delay. This Control Synthesis Is Done Based On Chengqiang Yin Method. It Has Two Pid Controllers- One Is Set Point Tracking Controller Based On Direct Synthesis Method And The Other Is Disturbance Rejection Controller Based On Imc Principle. In This Work, A Set Point Weight Is Added With Pid Controller To Reduce Peak Overshoots And Settling Time In The Modified Smith Predictor. Two Simulation Examples Are Given To Demonstrate The Validity Of This Method.
