Abstract

The use of conventional analog controllers to produce a one- quarter -decay transient response in sampled output control systems is studied. In particular, the control of processes which can be adequately represented by a first order lag plus deadtime is analyzed, where the process deadtime does not exceed the sampling interval. The process output is measured by a sample-and-hold device, which introduces additional deadtime equal to the sampling interval. This extends previous work, which considered only the plant delay. Proportional and proportional- integral (two-mode) controllers are studied. Controller settings yielding a one-quarter-decay transient response are calculated using z-transform theory. Plant simulations on a digital computer verify the predicted results. Comparisons are then made with results found by earlier authors studying continuous systems and sampled systems with no feedback deadtime.
