Possible use for PID controller. |

P Block.
The purpose of this assignment was originally intended to be for a PID controller block,
that would deliver the functionality of a three term controller, combining "Proportional",
"Integral" and "Derivative" components of the error signal.
However, there are so many possible variants that the final result would be confusing
and probably fail to meet many requirements in a realistic model.
It makes more sense to assemble a version from other block types.
The integrator block has been adapted so that it can provide a saturating integrator mode.
The error signal input to the integration can be passed though a function Generator to supress big errors,
thus inhibiting "integral wind-up".
The derivative action can be replicated by a differencing operation on the error signal: where
the trick is to use a block as a pass-through which is calculated after (i.e has higher ID number)
than the subtraction block. Thus the previous error is subtracted from the present value. Then,
Divide by Delt, the step time, for an estimate of the rate of change.
The whole or parts of these component signals can be put through saturation and summing as needed.

Invitation. McCann can help if you have a
design or operational problem that needs some technical support that is outside your
team's experience, some quantitative assessment of what is really the cause of the
difficulties, some design alternatives or just a fresh look by an intelligent
interrogator.
If you have a problem with the behaviour of a market sector, plant, process or item of
equipment and would like to get a quantitative handle on it to improve yield or optimise
performance, then contact us. We are always ready to give a little time
to discuss a new puzzle, in confidence,
of course. We'll only worry about fees
when we have some defined work. We can be flexible
about how we work with you. Top
