Relay feedback based monitoring and autotuning of processes with gain nonlinearity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Performance assessment and monitoring of control systems can be used to improve the performance of industrial processes. In this paper, a novel relay feedback based method for monitoring and automatic retuning of a class of proportional-integral (PI) controllers is proposed for the systems with gain nonlinearity. For performance assessment of the closed loop system, a time domain evaluation criteria based on the integral of the absolute value of the error (IAE) and the normalized pick of the error in setpoint (SP) changes are presented. Simulation results on the highly nonlinear pH process have shown the effectiveness and feasibility of this method.

Extensions and Modifications of Relay Autotuning
In this thesis extensions and modifications of Åström-Hägglund autotuning are investigated. A method where relay autotuning is extended to multi-input-multi-output control systems is suggested. The method is based on identification of n×n simple two-parameter transfer functions through n identification experiments. The method is experimentally tested on a water-mixer and a pilot-plant distillat...
متن کاملModel-based Autotuning System Using Ann and Relay Feedback Test
A model-based autotuning system is presented for PI/PID controllers. A conventional relay feedback test is used to generate the response for estimations of parameters such as: process gain, ultimate gain, ultimate frequency, and apparent deadtime. Two ANNs are built based on the data generated from standard SOPDT processes to enhance the estimation of apparent deadtime. Upon having the estimate...

A new approach to tune the PI controller for parallel cascade control using setpoint relay autotuning method is proposed in this paper. The setpoint relay autotuning is found to be effective as that of the relay feedback method without switching off existing controller. The proposed method is found to be more advantageous for finding out ultimate gain and ultimate period and tested in computer ...
متن کاملRelay Feedback Autotuning - A Polynomial Design Approach
A method of autotuning using an asymmetric relay with hysteresis feedback test is proposed and developed. Then, three parameters for aperiodic first or second order transfer functions can be obtained. After the identification relay experiment, controller parameters are computed through linear diophantine equation in the ring of proper and stable rational functions. This algebraic approach for a...
