Control Technique
|
|
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Limit / Set Point Control
|
|
Limit control establishes set points or limits that, when reached, send a signal to stop or start a process variable. This "off-on" or "bang-bang" control is a fairly simple type of control.
|
| |
Linear Control
|
|
Linear control matches a variable input signal with a correspondingly variable control signal. Signal conditioning, filtering, and amplification may occur to produce the proper output control signal.
|
| |
Feedforward Control
|
|
Feedforward control is direct control compensation from the reference signal. This technique does not require a sensor. It may be open-loop or used in conjunction with more advanced PID control.
|
| |
PID Control
|
|
Proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) control requires real-time system feedback. PID is a sophisticated control technique which monitors the error between a desired variable value and the actual value, and adjusts the control accordingly (proportional). Derivative and integral features can provide further control refinement by incorporating variables like rate-of-change of error to tune the control signal. Though sophisticated, PID controls must be tuned to prevent noisy operation and provide accurate process control.
|
| |
Fuzzy Logic
|
|
Fuzzy logic is a type of logic in which variables can have imprecise values (as in partial truth) rather than a binary status (completely true or completely false). Information and rules can be inexact, and calculations can be made on these imprecise values.
|
| |
