Sažetak
The control algorithm incorporates a process feedback path of pure proportional type (only for integral-type or unstable processes), a process model of second order plus time delay and a realizable second-order internal controller which has not a tuning filter time constant as usual in the classical IMC design, but a tuning gain with standard value 1, that can be used by the human operator to get a strong or weak control action. The model parameters (steady-state gain, time delay and transient time) can be easily experimentally determined and can be online verified and corrected. The algorithm is practical and quasi-universal because it is easily tunable, has a unique form and can be applied to almost all process types: stable proportional processes (with or without time delay, with or without overshoot, of minimum or nonminimum phase), integral processes and even some unstable processes. The proposed algorithm is better than the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm (which is also quasi-universal and
practical) due to its robustness, high control performance (especially for processes with time delay) and simple experimental procedure for determining the controller parameters. Some applications are presented to highlight the main features of the algorithm and the tuning procedure for all process types.
