As. Mccormack et Kr. Godfrey, RULE-BASED AUTOTUNING BASED ON FREQUENCY-DOMAIN IDENTIFICATION, IEEE transactions on control systems technology, 6(1), 1998, pp. 43-61
A frequency domain procedure is proposed for the automatic tuning of p
roportional integral derivative (PID) controllers. The nonparametric o
pen-loop frequency response function is estimated on-line (in closed l
oop), and simple discriminatory parameters are obtained, which enable
appropriate tuning of the controller. For processes with some prior kn
owledge of the dynamics, the method removes the need for relay tuning
or open-loop step response testing. If there is little or no prior kno
wledge of the process dynamics, relay or step response testing can be
used initially, with the method then being used for the subsequent tun
ing. As part of the paper, a comprehensive comparison of existing rule
-based tuning formulas is given using realistic plant examples.
