Feedforward Control Concepts through Interactive Tools
- 2011
-
Ingår i: 18th IFAC World Congress, 2011.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents an interactive software tool for basic and advanced concepts of feedforward control. The ideal compensator is analyzed to show how the effects of the load disturbances are eliminated from the process output. Furthermore, it is also shown that the ideal compensator is seldom realizable, since the compensator may be non-causal, it may be unstable, it may have infinite high-frequency gain because of derivative action, and it may require a more complicated structure than what is available. The drawback of not taking the feedback controller into account during the typical open-loop feedforward design is also studied. The proposed software tool helps to evaluate all these situations in an interactive way, enabling users to find possible design solutions to these problems.

Interactive Learning Module: Basic Modelling and Identification Concepts
- 2008
-
Ingår i: 17th IFAC World Congress, 2008.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes an interactive tool focused on teaching and learning basic concepts about modelling and identification. Modelling and identification play fundamental roles in the field of automatic control, since it is not possible to perform a control system design without having a model describing the dynamics of the process to be controlled. The tool presented in this work is dedicated to describe the most important aspects of basic modelling centralized on first and second order systems with dead-time and zero effects.

Interactive Learning Module for Control Interaction Understanding
- 2009
-
Ingår i: European Control Conference, 2009.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes an interactive tool focused on teaching and learning basic concepts on multivariable control systems. Most industrial processes are represented by multivariable systems and thus the teaching and learning of basic concepts on multivariable control is a key factor in control engineering education. In this sense, the interactive tool presented in this paper is aimed to introduce basic ideas on multivariable control systems mainly focused on interaction and pairing concepts.

Interactive Learning Modules for PID Control
- 2006
-
Ingår i: 7th IFAC Symposium on Advances in Control Education, 2006.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper describes a collection of interactive learning modules for PID control based on the graphical spread sheet metaphor. The modules are designed to speed up learning and to enhance understanding of the behaviour of loops with PID controllers. The modules are implemented in Sysquake, a Matlab dialect with strong support of interaction. Executable versions of the modules for Mac and PC are available on the web.

Understanding PID design through interactive tools
- 2014
-
Ingår i: 19th IFAC World Congress, 2014.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Hundreds of PID design methods are available in literature. Many of them are very similar and sometimes it is not straightforward to understand their purposes. This paper presents an interactive software tool to help in the study and understanding of several wellknown PID tuning rules. Frequency- and time-domain responses are analyzed in order to show the robustness and performance properties of each method. Furthermore, a free tuning option is available to provide comparisons with user-defined rules or other existing tuning methods. A wide range of stable process models are included in the tool, where model-reduction techniques are applied for high-order processes to obtain simple models for design purposes.
