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 simulation using various tuning methods. The results show that reasonable control performance can be achieved using IMC-PID method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
