3.3.1.4 Proportional-Derivative with Bias
The Proportional-Derivative with Bias (P/PD with Bias) PCA provides a
standard one or two mode control function. The P/PD with Bias PCA is
normally used as a PD controller, but it also allows the derivative term to
be tuned to zero to create a proportional-only controller.
The control algorithm can be viewed as a dual input, single output math
function whose output is derived from the periodic execution of a set of
positional control equations. The DCP's process variable is used as the
first input, the DCP's set point is used as the second input, and the result
of the control function becomes the IVP of the point.
The P/PD with Bias control algorithm is based on the following transfer
function:
IVP(s)
error(s)
Ă +Ă
K(T
d
Ăs ) 1)
aĂT
d
Ăs ) 1
where: T
d
= rate time constant
a = rate action limiter; 0.125
K = proportional gain
By using the intermediate term DN(s), the transfer function can be
rearranged to:
DN(s)
PV(s)
Ă +Ă
T
d
Ăs ) 1
aĂT
d
Ăs ) 1
IVP(s)
SP(s) * DN(s)
Ă +Ă K
These equations can be represented in the time domain as:
DN(s)Ă +Ă T
d
dPV
dt
) PV * aĂT
d
dDN
dt
IVPĂ +Ă K(SP * DN)
The equations shown are for reverse acting loops. The signs of the SP
and DN terms are inverted for direct acting loops. Note that the SP term
has been isolated so that rate action occurs only on changes to the PV,
which is necessary to obtain good control action in response to set point
changes. Also note that the rate action has been filtered to prevent the
algorithm from over reacting to high frequency noise.
