Web Assignment 13
Design of Proportional-Integral Controller
1. You got here. Good going!
2. This assignment is to design the PI controller. "Design" means select the tuning parameters for the controller. The parameters are the controller gain (Kc) and the integral time constant (tau-I).
3. We'll use the Ziegler-Nichols tuning which is supposed to give quarter decay response to a step change in set-point. The formulas are on page 306 and page 320 of Smith and Corripio. (Use both sets of formulas.)
4. Use these formulas to find the parameters. Be sure to observe the guidelines on page 304 about significant figures.
5. Send e-mail that reports what your values of the tuning parameters are.
BE CLEAR .
