Robust Control Strategy for Pneumatic Drive System via Enhanced Nonlinear PID Controller

Fuzzy gain scheduling of PID controller for stiction compensation in pneumatic control valve

Inherent nonlinearities like, deadband, stiction and hysteresis in control valves degenerate plant performance. Valve stiction standouts as a more widely recognized reason for poor execution in control loops. Measurement of valve stiction is essential to maintain scheduling. For industrial scenarios, loss of execution due to nonlinearity in control valves is an imperative issue that should be t...

Robust Takagi-Sugeno sensor fault tolerant control strategy for nonlinear system

Design of an enhanced nonlinear PID controller

An enhanced nonlinear PID (EN-PID) controller that exhibits the improved performance than the conventional linear fixed-gain PID controller is proposed in this paper, by incorporating a sector-bounded nonlinear gain in cascade with a conventional PID control architecture. To achieve the high robustness against noise, two nonlinear tracking differentiators are used to select high-quality differe...

LabVIEW implementation of an enhanced nonlinear PID controller based on harmony search for one-stage servomechanism system

This paper presents a practical implementation for a new formula of nonlinear PID (NPID) control. The purpose of the controller is to accurately trace a preselected position reference of one stage servomechanism system. The possibility of developing a transfer function model for experimental setup is elusive because of the lack of system data. So, the identified model has been developed via gat...

Improving the pneumatic control valve performance using a PID controller

Pneumatic control valves are still the most used in process industries due to their low cost and simplicity. This paper presents a design procedure of a PID controller for a pneumatic control valve. For comparison, P and PI controllers are also utilized for the control valve. The bond graph method is used to model the control valve, in order to compare the response characteristics of the valve....
