Next, we develop a transfer function for each of
the five elements in the feedback control loop.
For the sake of simplicity, flow rate w1 is
assumed to be constant, and the system is
initially operating at the nominal steady rate.
Process In section 4.1 the approximate dynamic
model of a stirred-tank blending system was
developed

Current-to-Pressure (I/P) Transducer The
transducer transfer function merely consists of a
steady-state gain KIP
Chapter 11
Control Valve As discussed in Section 9.2,
control valves are usually designed so that the
flow rate through the valve is a nearly linear
function of the signal to the valve actuator.
Therefore, a first-order transfer function is an
adequate model
7
Composition Sensor-Transmitter (Analyzer) We
assume that the dynamic behavior of the
composition sensor-transmitter can be
approximated by a first-order transfer function,
but tm is small so it can be neglected.
Controller Suppose that an electronic
proportional plus integral controller is used.

Closed-Loop Transfer Functions
  • Indicate dynamic behavior of the controlled
    process
  • (i.e., process plus controller, transmitter,
    valve etc.)
  • Set-point Changes (Servo Problem)

Assume Ysp ? 0 and D 0 (set-point change
while disturbance change is zero)

(11-26)
  • Disturbance Changes (Regulator Problem)

Assume D ? 0 and Ysp 0 (constant set-point)

Note same denominator for Y/D, Y/Ysp.

Substitute,
For 0 lt ? lt 1 , closed-loop response is
oscillatory. Thus decreased degree of
oscillation by increasing Kc or ?I (for
constant Kv, KM, and A).

General Stability Criterion
Most industrial processes are stable without
feedback control. Thus, they are said to be
open-loop stable or self-regulating. An open-loop
stable process will return to the original steady
state after a transient disturbance (one that is
not sustained) occurs. By contrast there are a
few processes, such as exothermic chemical
reactors, that can be open-loop unstable.
Definition of Stability. An unconstrained linear
system is said to be stable if the output
response is bounded for all bounded inputs.
Otherwise it is said to be unstable.
Chapter 11
28
Effect of PID Control on a Disturbance Change
For a regulator (disturbance change), we want the
disturbance effects to attenuate when control is
applied.
Consider the closed-loop transfer function for
proportional control of a third-order system
(disturbance change).
Chapter 11
Kc is the controller function, i.e.,
.
29
Let
If Kc 1,
Chapter 11
Since all of the factors are positive,
, the step response will be the sum
of negative exponentials, but will exhibit
oscillation.
If Kc 8,
Corresponds to sine wave (undamped), so this case
is marginally stable.
30
If Kc 27
Since the sign of the real part of the root is
negative, we obtain a positive exponential for
the response. Inverse transformation shows how
the controller gain affects the roots of the
system.
Chapter 11
Offset with proportional control (disturbance
step-response D(s) 1/s )
31
Therefore, if Kc is made very large, y(t)
approaches 0, but does not equal zero. There is
some offset with proportional control, and it can
be rather large when large values of Kc create
instability.
Integral Control
Chapter 11
For a unit step load-change and Kc1,
no offset
(note 4th order polynomial)
32
PI Control
no offset
adjust Kc and ?I to obtain satisfactory response
(roots of equation which is 4th order).
Chapter 11
PID Control (pure PID)
No offset, adjust Kc, ?I , ?D to obtain
satisfactory result (requires solving for roots
of 4th order characteristic equation).
33
Rule of Thumb Closed-loop response becomes less
oscillatory and more stable by decreasing Kc or
increasing tI .
General Stability Criterion Consider the
characteristic equation,
Note that the left-hand side is merely the
denominator of the closed-loop transfer function.
Chapter 11
The roots (poles) of the characteristic equation
(s - pi) determine the type of response that
occurs
Complex roots ? oscillatory response All real
roots ? no oscillations

Stability Considerations
  • Feedback control can result in oscillatory or
    even unstable closed-loop responses.

  • Typical behavior (for different values of
    controller gain, Kc).

Routh Stability Criterion
Characteristic equation

(11-93)
Where an gt0 . According to the Routh criterion,
if any of the coefficients a0, a1, , an-1 are
negative or zero, then at least one root of the
characteristic equation lies in the RHP, and thus
the system is unstable. On the other hand, if
all of the coefficients are positive, then one
must construct the Routh Array shown below
39
Chapter 11
For stability, all elements in the first column
must be positive.
40
The first two rows of the Routh Array are
comprised of the coefficients in the
characteristic equation. The elements in
the remaining rows are calculated from
coefficients by using the formulas

Application of the Routh Array
Characteristic Eqn is
We want to know what value of Kc causes
instability, I.e., at least one root of the above
equation is positive. Using the Routh array,
Chapter 11
Conditions for Stability
The important constraint is Kclt8. Any Kc ?8
will cause instability.
