Allen Bradley plc analog scaling

SCL INSTRUCTION


FOR ANALOG INPUT:-

In case of Micrologix -1000 A for current signal (4 to 20 mA),

Max Value for i/p = 31230 (Approx.)

So min value at 4 mA = 31230*4/20 = 6246 (Approx.)

Let the range of RTD is 0 to 400 degree C.

To calculate the value of rate & offset please use following formula.

1). Rate = (scaled max. - scaled min.) * 10000 / (input max. - input min.)
           
               = (400 – 0) * 10000 / (31230-6246)

     Rate = 160

2). Offset = scaled minimum - (input minimum x rate)

                 = 0 – (6246 * .0160)
      Offset = -100








FOR ANALOG OUTPUT

In case of Micrologix -1000 A for current signal (4 to 20 mA),

To use the AI double click on I/O Configuration & then I/O Setup.
Select the o/p mode (may be current or voltage, which you want to use).

If you want to provide 0 to 10 V signal on o/p then the value at O:0.4 should be 0 to 31230 (Approx.).

PID Control

PID ControlOverall Course Objectives

            Develop the skills necessary to function as an industrial process control engineer.

       Skills

        Tuning loops

        Control loop design

        Control loop troubleshooting

        Command of the terminology

       Fundamental understanding

        Process dynamics

        Feedback control

PID Controls

           Most common controller in the CPI.

           Came into use in 1930’s with the introduction of pneumatic controllers.

           Extremely flexible and powerful control algorithm when applied properly.

           General Feedback Control Loop Closed Loop Transfer Functions

            From the general feedback control loop and using the properties of transfer functions, the following expressions can be derived:

Characteristic Equation

            Since setpoint tracking and disturbance rejection have the same denominator for their closed loop transfer functions, this indicates that both setpoint tracking and disturbance rejection have the same general dynamic behavior.

            The roots of the denominator determine the dynamic characteristics of the closed loop process.

            The characteristic equation is given by:

Feedback Control Analysis

           The loop gain (KcKaKpKs) should be positive for stable feedback control.

           An open-loop unstable process can be made stable by applying the proper level of feedback control.

Characteristic Equation Example

            Consider the dynamic behavior of a P-only controller applied to a CST thermal mixer (Kp=1; tp=60 sec) where the temperature sensor has a ts=20 sec and ta is assumed small. Note that Gc(s)=Kc.

Example Continued- Analysis of the Closed Loop Poles

           When Kc =0, poles are -0.05 and -0.0167 which correspond to the inverse of tp and ts.

           As Kc is increased from zero, the values of the poles begin to approach one another.

           Critically damped behavior occurs when the poles are equal.

           Underdamped behavior results when Kc is increased further due to the imaginary components in the poles.

In-Class Exercise

           Determine the dynamic behavior of a P-only controller with Kc equal to 1 applied to a first-order process in which the process gain is equal to 2 and the time constant is equal to 22.  Assume that Gs(s) is equal to one and Ga(s) behaves as a first-order process with a time constant of 5. 

PID Control Algorithm

Definition of Terms

           e(t)-  the error from setpoint [e(t)=ysp-ys].

           Kc- the controller gain is a tuning parameter and largely determines the controller aggressiveness.

            tI- the reset time is a tuning parameter and determines the amount of integral action.

            tD- the derivative time is a tuning parameter and determines the amount of derivative action.

 

Transfer Function for a PID Controller

Example for a First Order Process with a PI Controller

Example of a PI Controller Applied to a Second Order Process

Properties of Proportional Action

            Closed loop transfer function base on a P-only controller applied to a first order process.

            Properties of P control

       Does not change order of process

          Closed loop time constant is smaller than open loop t

          Does not eliminate offset.

       Offset Resulting from P-only Control Proportional Action for the Response of a PI ControllerProportional Action

           The primary benefit of proportional action is that it speedup the response of the process.             Properties of Integral Action

            Based on applying an I-only controller to a first order process

            Properties of I control

       Offset is eliminated

       Increases the order by 1

       As integral action is increased, the process becomes faster, but at the expense of more                  sustained oscillations

       Integral Action for the Response of a PI Controller Integral Action

           The primary benefit of integral action is that it removes offset from setpoint.

           In addition, for a PI controller all the steady-state change in the controller output results from integral action.

Properties of Derivative Action

            Closed loop transfer function for derivative-only control applied to a second order process.

            Properties of derivative control:

      Does not change the order of the process

      Does not eliminate offset

      Reduces the oscillatory nature of the feedback response

 

Derivative Action for the Response of a PID Controller Derivative Action

           The primary benefit of derivative action is that it reduces the oscillatory nature of the closed-loop response.

         Position Form of the PID AlgorithmProportional Band

            Another way to express the controller gain.

            Kc in this formula is dimensionless.  That is, the controller output is scaled 0-100% and the error from setpoint is scaled 0-100%.

            In more frequent use 10-15 years ago, but it still appears as an option on DCS’s Conversion from PB to Kc

            Proportional band is equal to 200%.

            The range of the error from setpoint is 200 psi.

            The controller output range is 0 to 100%.

Conversion from Kc to PB

            Controller gain is equal to 15 %/ºF

            The range of the error from setpoint is 25 ºF.

            The controller output range is 0 to 100%.\

    Digital Equivalent of PID Controller

            The trapezoidal approximation of the integral.

 

            Backward difference approximation of the first derivative

      Digital Version of PID Control Algorithm Velocity Form of PID Controller

            Note the difference in proportional, integral, and derivative terms from the position form.

            Velocity form is the form implemented on DCSs.

Correction for Derivative Kick

            Derivative kick occurs when a setpoint change is applied that causes a spike in the derivative of the error from setpoint.

            Derivative kick can be eliminated by replacing the approximation of the derivative based on the error from setpoint with the negative of the approximation of the derivative based on the measured value of the controlled variable, i.e.,

Correction for Aggressive Setpoint Tracking

            For certain process, tuning the controller for good disturbance rejection performance results in excessively aggressive action for setpoint changes.

            This problem can be corrected by removing the setpoint from the proportional term.  Then setpoint tracking is accomplished by integral action only.

The Three Versions of the PID Algorithm Offered on DCS’s

           (1) The original form in which the proportional, integral, and derivative terms are based on the error from setpoint

 

 

Guidelines for Selecting Direct and Reverse Acting PID’s

            Consider a direct acting final control element to be positive and reverse to be negative.

            If the sign of the product of the final control element and the process gain is positive, use the reverse acting PID algorithm.

            If the sign of the product is negative, use the direct acting PID algorithm

            If control signal goes to a control valve with a valve positioner, the actuator is considered direct acting.

 

Level Control Example

            Process gain is negative because when flow out is increased, the level decreases.

            If the final control element is direct acting, use direct acting PID.

            For reverse acting final control element, use reverse acting PID.

 

In-Class Exercise

           Write the position form of the PID algorithm for Example 3.4, and assume that the control valve on the feed line to the mixer has an air-to-close actuator.  Use the form that is not susceptible to derivative kick.  Specify whether the controller is a direct-acting or reverse-acting controller.

In-Class Exercise

           Write the velocity form of the PID algorithm for Example 3.1, and assume that the control valve on the feed line to the mixer has an air-to-open actuator.  Use the form that is not susceptible to derivative kick or proportional kick. Specify whether the controller is a direct-acting or reverse-acting controller.

Filtering the Process Measurement

           Filtering reduces the effect of sensor noise by approximating a running average.

           Filtering adds lag when the filtered measurement is used for control.

           Normally, use the minimum amount of filtering necessary.

           f- filter factor (0-1)

Feedback Loop with Sensor Filtering

Effect of Filtering on Closed Loop Dynamics

Analysis of Example

            tf  is equal to  Dt (1/f-1)  as f  becomes small, tf becomes large.

           As tf  is increased, tpwill increase.

           Critical issue is relative magnitude of tf compare to tp.

Effect of the Amount of Filtering on the Open Loop Response

Effect of a Noisy Sensor on Controlled Variable without Filtering

Effect of a Noisy Sensor on Controlled Variable with Filtering

An Example of Too Much and Too Little Filtering

Relationship between Filter Factor (f), the Resulting Repeatability Reduction Ratio (R) and the Filter Time Constant (tf)

Key Issues for Sensor Filtering

           To reduce the effect of noise (i.e., R is increased), f must be reduced, which increases the value of tf.  Filtering slows the closed-loop response significantly as tbecomes larger than 10% of tp.

           The effect of filtering on the closed-loop response can be reduced by increasing the frequency with which the filter is applied, i.e., reducing Dtf.

PID Controller Design Issues

           Over 90% of control loops use PI controller.

           P-only:  used for fast responding processes that do not require offset free operation (e.g., certain level and pressure controllers)

           PI: used for fast responding processes that require offset free operation (e.g., certain flow, level, pressure, temperature, and composition controllers)

Integrating Processes

           For integrating processes, P-only control provides offset-free operation.  In fact, if as integral action is added to such a case, the control performance degrades.

           Therefore, for integrating processes, P-only control is all that is usually required.

PID Controller Design Issues

           PID:  use for sluggish processes (i.e., a process with large deadtime to time constant ratios) or processes that exhibit severe ringing for PI controllers.  PID controllers are applied to certain temperature and composition control loops.   Use derivative action when:

Comparison between PI and PID for a Low qp/tp Ratio

Analysis of Several Commonly Encountered Control Loops

           Flow control loops

           Level control loops

           Pressure control loops

           Temperature control loops

           Composition control loops

           DO control loop

           Biomass controller

 

Flow Control Loop

            Since the flow sensor and the process (changes in flow rate for a change in the valve position) are so fast, the dynamics of the flow control loop is controlled by the dynamics of the control valve.

            Almost always use PI controller.

Deadband of a Control Valve

            Deadband of industrial valves is between ±10%-±25%.

            As a result, small changes in the air pressure applied to the valve do not change the flow rate.

Deadband of Flow Control Loop

            A control valve (deadband of ±10-25%) in a flow control loop or with a positioner typically has a deadband for the average flow rate of less than ±0.5% due to the high frequency opening and closing of the valve around the specified flow rate.

Level Control Loop

            Dynamics of the sensor and actuator are fast compared to the process.

            Use P-only controller if it is an integrating process.

Pressure Control Process

            The sensor is generally faster than the actuator, which is faster than the process.

            Use P-only controller if it is an integrating process otherwise use a PI controller.

Temperature Control Loop

            The dynamics of the process and sensor are usually slower than the actuator.

            Use a PI controller unless the process is sufficiently sluggish to warrant a PID controller.

Analysis of PI Controller Applied to Typical Temperature Loop

Further Analysis of Dynamic of a Typical Temperature Control Loop

           Note that as the controller gain is increased, i.e., KcKp increase, the closed loop time constant becomes smaller.

           Also, note that as the controller gain is increased, the value of z decreases.

Composition Control Loop

            The process is usually the slowest element followed by the sensor with the actuator being the fastest.

            Use a PI controller unless the process is sufficiently sluggish to warrant a PID controller.

DO Control Loop

            The process and the sensor have approximately the same dynamic response.

            This is a fast responding process for which offset-free operation is desired.  Therefore, PI controller should be used.

Biomass Controller

            The process for this system is the slowest element.

            Because the process is a high-order sluggish process, a PID controller is required.

Overview

            The  characteristic equation determines the dynamic behavior of a closed loop system

            Proportional, integral, and derivative action each have unique characteristics.

            There are a number of different ways to apply a PID controller.

            Use a PI controller unless offset is not important or if the process is sluggish.


            When analyzing the dynamics of a loop, consider the dynamics of the actuator, the process, and the sensor separately.
