Ziegler-Nichols Rules : Proportional control : K = 0.5 Kc

P+I control : K = 0.45 Kc , Ti = 0.83 Tc

PID control: K = 0.6 Kc , Ti = 0.5 Tc , Td = 0.125 Tc

Question 1

The P+I controller in a position control system was designed according to Ziegler-Nichols rules. It

has the transfer function

s

G (s)^4 (s^0.^5 ) c

(a) Identify the period of unstable oscillations, Tc, for the given system. Using Tc as a

reference, suggest a suitable sampling interval for a replacement digital controller.[ 5 marks]

(b) Explain how a D/A converter introduces a delay in a digital control system. Include a sketch

of typical input and output signals to support your answer. [5 marks]

(c) Given that the resonant frequency of the given system is ωr = 1.8 rad/s, and using a sampling

interval of T = 0.3 s, design a phase-lead compensator to offset the phase-lag of the D/A

converter at the resonant frequency. [10 marks]

Question 2

The block diagram of a digital control system which has a sampling interval, T = 0.2 s is shown in

Fig. 1. The computer algorithm is given as:

m(k) = m(k–1) + 1.7[e(k) – 0.4e(k–1)]

Fig. 1

(a) Represent the system of Fig. 4 in the z-domain, and write an expression for the closed-loop z-

transfer function. [ 11 marks ]

(b) Calculate the locations of the closed loop poles and zeros in the z-plane. [ 2 marks ]

(c) Determine the steady-state error of the system for a unit ramp input. [ 7 marks ]

Question 3

The block diagram of a digital control system is given in Fig. 2.

Fig. 2

(a) Write an expression for the closed-loop z-transfer function of the system, C(z)/R(z). Given that

one of the poles is located at z = 0.235, complete a pole-zero diagram for the system. [ 8 marks ]

(b) Using a sampling interval, T = 0.5 s, map the poles and zeros onto the primary strip in the s-

plane. [ 8 marks ]

(c) Explain why you would be confident that predictions of the system response based on the

location of dominant s-plane poles would be accurate. [ 4 marks ]

Question 4

It is required to design a digital controller for a certain chemical process. Root locus analysis of the

system found that the gain at which the system becomes unstable is 18 dB, and the frequency of

unstable oscillations is ωc = 0.628 rad/s.

(a) Design an analogue PID controller for the process according to Ziegler-Nichols rules.

[ 7 marks ]

(b) Choosing a sampling interval of T = 1.5 s, directly apply the bilinear transformation to emulate

the analogue controller of part (a). Write the computer algorithm for the resulting digital

controller. [ 8 marks ]

(c) Discuss how the performance of the digital controller is likely to compare with that of the

analogue controller, and suggest one method for overcoming the differences expected.
