Q

4 steps of Ziegler-Nichols Tuning Method

A
  1. Begin with a low value of gain, Kp
  2. Reduce the integrator and derivative gains to 0
  3. Increase Kp from 0 to some critical value Kp = Kcr at which sustained oscillations occur. If it does not occur then another method has to be applied.
  4. Note that the value Kcr and the corresponding period of sustained oscillation, Pcr sustained oscillation with period Pcr. (Pcr is measured in sec.)

Q

is a control system in which a secondary (slave) control loop is set up to control a
variable that is a major source of load disturbance for another primary (master) control loop.

26
Q

are those processes that are taken from start to finish in batches.

27
Q

often involve getting the correct proportion of ingredients into the batch.

A

Batch processes

28
Q

are used at various stages of batch processes.

A

temperature, and often mass measurements

29
Q

Imagine a process in which an acid must be diluted with water in the proportion two parts water to one part acid. If a tank has an acid supply on one side of a mixing vessel and a water supply on the other,

  • a control system could be developed to control the ratio of acid to water, even though the water supply itself
    may not be controlled.
A

Ratio Control

Q

refers to a control system in which the more important of two variables will be
maintained.
