  1. Control Theory (2) Jeremy Wyatt School of Computer Science University of Birmingham

  2. Aims • Understand first order models • Be able to analyse them • See their generality • Analyse PE control for our DC motor • Meet PI and PID control

  3. Modelling a Simple Process q= temperature Q=rate of heat input • What is the relationship between the heat supply and the temperature of the room? • What is f?

  4. Modelling a Simple Process • There are two ways in which heat is “used up” heats the room leaks out through the walls • We combine these to give a first order differential equation model • C is the heat capacity of the room • L is the loss coefficient (how leaky the room is) [1]

  5. q t First order processes • The behaviour is characteristic of what we call a first order lag process • We can analyse the equation to tell us: • The final temperature • The transient behaviour

  6. Steady State Behaviour • If we hold Q constant the temperature will eventually level out • At that point so • If then must rise • If then must fall is the steady state temperature is the temperature at time t

  7. q t Transient Behaviour • If we solve we obtain • tells us the final temperature • tells us how fast we reach it [2] is the initial temperature is the temperature at time t

  8. The time constant • tells us how fast we reach the steady state • We can express this another way • Where t is pronounced “tau” and is called the time constant of the process • Any first order lag process reaches ~0.63 of its steady state value when t=t q t t

  9. q t t Standard Form • Any first order lag process reaches • ~0.63 of its steady state value when t=t • ~0.95 of its steady state value when t=3t • ~0.99 of its steady state value when t=5t • Recall • A simple rearrangement gives us a standard form: [1] in general [3]

  10. Solution by Inspection • Once in standard form we can solve by inspection: • GU is the steady state • where U is the process input (or control action) • G is called the steady state gain • Here [3]

  11. Our DC Motor example revisited • Our DC motor can also be modelled as a first order process • A motor generates a back voltage proportional to its speed • The net voltage is related to current by Ohm’s law [4] is a motor constant is the motor speed is the resistance of the motor is the current drawn

  12. Our DC Motor example revisited • The torque produced is proportional to the current drawn • We can combine these to make a first order model [5] [4] is a motor constant is the mass being driven

  13. Questions • Combine the equations to form the first order model • What is the steady state speed? • What is the time constant t?

  14. Adding Gears • We can alter the properties of the process by adding gears • g is the gear ratio (g >1 means a step down gear) • input speed = g output speed • g input torque = output torque [4] [5]

  15. Questions • Combine the equations to form the new first order model • What is the new steady state speed? • What is the new time constant t?

  16. Analysing our PE Controller • Recall our proportional error control law where a G + -

  17. Properties of PE Control • The PE controller will not reach the target speed • The difference is called the steady state error • How big will it be? sT s t

  18. Analysing our PE Controller • The open loop behaviour was described by • We can remodel the new system by substituting [7] back into [6] • For now assume that [6] [7]

  19. Steady state Analysing our PE Controller • The new system is described by • So as the steady state error disappears and it reaches the steady state more quickly • But big causes instability Time constant [7]

  20. Proportional Integral Control (PI) • IDEA: Add a proportion of the accumulated error to the control signal • GOOD: there is no steady state error • BAD: • Hard to tune • More lag • More unstable sT s t

  21. PID control • IDEA: Add a third term which looks at how fast the error is changing sT s t t

  22. PID control • GOOD: • fast initial response to increases in error (D component) • No steady state error (I component) • As error decreases P 0 and D < 0, therefore stable • BAD: very hard to tune sT s t t

  23. Summary • Seen generality of first order model • Used it to analyse PE control • Seen principles of PI and PID control
