MODELING OF THERMAL SYSTEM UNDER PI CONTROLLER WITH PWM OUTPUT
The present work focuses on the modeling of the thermal system composed of several modules, in which the general model of the system is built, which includes all its components in operation. The environment collected data in real time of the growth and decrease (temperature) curve of a soldering iron tool, under aspects of PWM variation - Pulse Width Modulation - of the signal. It is used as a representative model of device in industrial welding, in which it has similarities in key aspects of behavior. Through analysis and software assistance, the function of transferring the general plan was obtained, which showed an acceptable level of correspondence (86.04%) in non-linear systems. Based on the model discovered, a PItype controller - Proportional Integral - was designed, paying attention to the need for a low-level overshoot signal (6.08%) in order to obtain a response to the rapid stabilization step, rare in thermal systems. The PI was developed in order to generate an output in DC format (Duty Cycle format), since the raw data of the system were collected by varying this indicator at regular intervals of time. After the tests carried out in simulation, results were obtained that confirm that the developed control system is applicable and responds appropriately, being able to be optimized for applications.,
