A New PID Controller Design with Constraints on Relative Delay Margin for First-Order Plus Dead-Time Systems

Abstract

The maximum sensitivity function as the conventional robustness index is often used to test the robustness and cannot be used to tune the controller parameters directly. To reduce analytical difficulties in dealing with the maximum sensitivity function and improve the control performance of the proportional-integral-derivative controller, the relative delay margin as a good alternative is proposed to offer a simple robust analysis for the proportional-integral-derivative controller and the first-order plus dead-time systems. The relationship between the parameters of the proportional-integral-derivative controller and the new pair, e.g., the phase margin and the corresponding gain crossover frequency, is derived. Based on this work, the stability regions of the proportional-integral-derivative controller parameters, the proportional gain and the integral gain with a given derivative gain, are obtained in a simple way. The tuning of the proportional-integral-derivative controller with constraints on the relative delay margin is simplified into an optimal disturbance rejection problem and the tuning procedure is summarized. For convenience, the recommended parameters are also offered. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methodology has better tracking and disturbance rejection performance than other comparative design methodologies of the proportional-integral/proportional-integral-derivative controller. For example, the integrated absolute errors of the proposed proportional-integral-derivative controller for the tracking performance and disturbance rejection performance are less than 91.3% and 91.7% of the integrated absolute errors of other comparative controllers in Example 3, respectively. The proposed methodology shows great potential in industrial applications. Besides, the proposed method can be applied to the design of the proportional-integral-derivative controller with filtered derivative which is recommended for practical applications to weaken the adverse influence of the high-frequency measurement noise.

“…The stability comparison of the signals of TS(t) for any time and different air velocities was determined by the standard error (), and by the integral absolute error (IAE) criterion as proposed in the literature (Gani et al, 2019;Mahmood et al, 2018;Wu et al, 2019;Mahmood et al, 2018). Next, equation 12 represents the standard error ( control system (Fig.…”

Reliable Control Applications with Wireless Communication Technologies: Application to Robotic Systems

“…The controller gains are displayed in the Table 7. Major downsides of PIDs are related to the strategies to obtain the appropriate gains to prevent oscillations, which can yield to the instability in complicated non-linear or time-varying systems [59]. A sophisticated approach that can improve an ordinary PID is through a gain scheduling strategy based on a Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) structure [60].…”

A Controller Synthesis Method to Achieve Independent Reference Tracking Performance and Disturbance Rejection Performance

“…The concept of 2-DOF control was first proposed and applied to the design of the PI/PID controller by Horowitz in 1963 . With the development of the control technology, 2-DOF-based control systems are generally divided into two types: “feedback and feedforward” and “feedback and disturbance observer (DOB).” The former one mainly consists of the 2-DOF PI/PID controller, − whose tuning rules have been studied by worldwide researchers, such as maximum sensitivity ( M s )-constrained integral gain optimization (MIGO), internal model control (IMC), , relative delay method, desired dynamic equational (DDE) method, multi-objective optimization, and so forth. The latter one mainly focuses on the design of the observer to handle disturbances and uncertainties, including DOB, perturbation observer (POB), equivalent-input-disturbance (EID), uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE), generalized PI observer (GPIO), unknown input observer (UIO), extended state observer (ESO), , and so forth.…”
