Study Notes
Smart Systems ME 4SS3
- Course taught by Dr. S. Andrew Gadsden
- Department of Mechanical Engineering, McMaster University
- Topics include: Introduction to Feedback, PID Controllers, Design of PID Controllers, Sliding Mode Control (SMC)
L10 Quiz - Smart Systems
- Question 1: Defining terms: x, z, u, A, B, C, k
- Question 2: Dimensions of terms: x (n x 1), z (m x 1), u (r x 1), A (n x n), B (m x n), C (r x n), k (1 x 1)
12.1 Control Theory - Introduction to Feedback
- Open-loop feedback: Input signal (R(s)) passes through system components (G₁(s), G₂(s)) without feedback. A disturbance (D(s)) also affects the output (X(s)).
- Closed-loop feedback: Input (R(s)) and output (X(s)) are compared and the difference (error) signal is used to adjust the output. The disturbance (D(s)) also affects the output (X(s)).
12.1 Control Theory - Digital Systems
- Analogue to Digital (ADC): Converts an analogue signal into a digital format
- Digital Micro-processor: Processes the digital signal
- Digital to Analogue (DAC): Converts the digital signal to an analogue format
- Corrective element: Adjusts and refines the signal according to the output
- Process: Where the corrective signal is acted upon, completing the system
12.2 Control Theory - PID Controllers
- Continuous-time PID controller: u(t) = Kpe(t) + Kaė(t) + K∫e(t)d(t)
- Gain tuning and selection
- Discrete-time error signal
- Desired minus actual state
12.2 Control Theory - PID Controllers - Z-N Method #1
- Method 1: Perform open-loop step testing, plotting response
- From plot: Obtain R (maximum slope) and L (lag)
- PID parameters: Kp = 1.2/(R.L), K₁ = 1/(2L), Kd = 0.5L
12.2 Control Theory - PID Controllers - Z-N Method #2
- Method 2: Begin with proportional control only (u = Kp, Kd = K₁ = 0)
- Step test: Observe the plant output, increase Kp until continuous oscillations result
- Record: Kp gain as Ku, oscillation period as Pu
- PID parameters: Kp = 0.6Ku, K₁ = 2/Pu, Kd = Pu/8
12.3 Control Theory - System Types
- Type Number: The number of 1/s factors in the open-loop transfer function
- Type 0: Finite steady-state error (ess) to a step input; infinite ess to a ramp input.
- Type 1: Zero ess to a step input; finite ess to a ramp input
12.3 Control Theory - Bode Plots
- Bode plot: Plot magnitude (M in dB) and phase (φ) versus log w.
- System analysis: Used to determine the stability of systems through gain and phase margins, and the frequency at which these values are achieved.
12.4 Control Theory - Sliding Mode Control
- Sliding Mode Control (SMC): Control strategy for nonlinear systems;
- Variable structure control: Uses a discontinuous switching plane along a desired trajectory
- Objective: Keep state values along surface, minimizing errors
L12 Summary - Key Takeaways
- Open-loop and closed-loop control systems
- PID is a popular, linear control method
