K = Vmax * Tu controller behavior Pb1 [phy. units] td1 [s] ti1 [s]
With 2-point and
3-point controllers,
the cycle time must
be adjusted to
t1 / t2 £ 0,25 * Tu
PID 1,7 * K 2 * Tu 2 * Tu
PD 0,5 * K Tu OFF
PI 2,6 * K OFF 6 * Tu
P K OFF OFF
3-point-stepping 1,7 * K Tu 2 * Tu
Parameter adjustment effects
Parameter Control Line-out of disturbances Start-up behaviour
Pb1 higher increased damping slower line-out slower reduction of duty cycle
lower reduced damping faster line-out faster reduction of duty cycle
td1 higher reduced damping faster response to disturbances faster reduction of duty cycle
lower increased damping slower response to disturbances slower reduction of duty cycle
ti1 higher increased damping slower line-out slower reduction of duty cycle
lower reduced damping faster line-out faster reduction of duty cycle
