AbstractA novel Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is proposed for stable and unstable first order processes with time delay. The controller is cascaded in series with a second order filter. Polynomial approach is employed to derive the controller and filter parameters. Simple tuning rules are derived by analysing the maximum sensitivity of the control loop. Formulae are provided for initial guess of tuning parameter. The range of tuning parameter around the initial guess and the corresponding range of maximum sensitivity is specified based on time delay to time constant ratio. Promising results are obtained with the proposed method is compared against recently proposed methods in the literature. The comparison is made in terms of various performance indices for servo and regulatory responses separately. The proposed method is implemented for an isothermal chemical reactor at an unstable equilibrium point.

An improved analytical tuning rule of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller for integrating systems with time delay is proposed using the direct synthesis method and multiple dominant pole-placement approach. Different from the traditional multiple dominant pole-placement method, the desired characteristic equation is obtained by placing the third-order dominant poles at −1/λ and placing the second-order non-dominant poles at −5/λ (λ is the tuning parameter). According to root locus theory, the third-order dominant poles and the second-order non-dominant poles are nearly symmetrically located at the two sides of the fifth-order dominant poles. This makes the third-order dominant poles closer to the imaginary axis than the fifth-order dominant poles, which means that, possibly, better performances can be achieved. Analytical formulas of a PID controller with a lead-lag filter are derived. Simple tuning rules are also given to achieve the desired robustness, which is measured by the maximum sensitivity (Ms) value. The proposed method can achieve better performances and maintain better performances when there exist parameters’ perturbation compared with other methods. Simulations for various integrating processes as well as the nonlinear continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) model illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.

AbstractThe processes which contain at least one pole at the origin are known as integrating systems. The process output varies continuously with time at certain speed when they are disturbed from the equilibrium operating point by any environment disturbance/change in input conditions and thus they are considered as non-self-regulating. In most occasions this phenomenon is very disadvantageous and dangerous. Therefore it is always a challenging task to efficient control such kind of processes. Depending upon the number of poles present at the origin and also on the location of other poles in transfer function different types of integrating systems exist. Stable first order plus time delay systems with an integrator (FOPTDI), unstable first order plus time delay systems with an integrator (UFOPTDI), pure integrating plus time delay (PIPTD) systems and double integrating plus time delay (DIPTD) systems are the classifications of integrating systems. By using a well-controlled positioning stage the advances in micro and nano metrology are inevitable in order satisfy the need to maintain the product quality of miniaturized components. As proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers are very simple to tune, easy to understand and robust in control they are widely implemented in many of the chemical process industries. In industries this PID control is the most common control algorithm used and also this has been universally accepted in industrial control. In a wide range of operating conditions the popularity of PID controllers can be attributed partly to their robust performance and partly to their functional simplicity which allows engineers to operate them in a simple, straight forward manner. One of the accepted control algorithms by the process industries is the PID control. However, in order to accomplish high precision positioning performance and to build a robust controller tuning of the key parameters in a PID controller is most inevitable. Therefore, for PID controllers many tuning methods are proposed. the main factors that lead to lifetime reduction in gain loss of PID parameters are described in This paper and also the main methods used for gain tuning based on optimization approach analysis is reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of each one are outlined and some future directions for research are analyzed.
