Ziegler-Nichols Rules : Proportional control : K = 0.5 Kc

P+I control : K = 0.45 Kc , Ti = 0.83 Tc

PID control: K = 0.6 Kc , Ti = 0.5 Tc , Td = 0.125 Tc

Question 1

An analogue position control system is to be upgraded to a digital controller. Analysis of the

Nichols chart for the analogue system shows that it has a damping factor,  = 0.55 and a

resonant frequency, r = 10 rad/s. In order to compensate for the delay introduced by the

D/A converter, a phase-lead compensator is to be included in the digital controller.

(a) Explain how a zero-order-hold (ZOH) D/A converter operates in a digital control

system. [5 marks]

(b) Suggest a suitable sampling interval, T, for the system described above. [4 marks]

(c) Taking T = 50 ms and given that the maximum phase-lead, 

calculate a value for r that will maximise compensation for the D/A delay at the

resonant frequency. [4 marks]

(d) Complete the transfer function of the phase-lead compensator, and determine the

value by which the system gain should be reduced so as to maintain resonant

characteristics of the analogue controller. [7 marks]

Question 2

The system shown in Fig. 1 includes an analogue integrator and a digital processor which is

programmed with the algorithm, m(k) = 0.63[e(k)+0.21e(k-1)].

The sampling period of the D/A converter is T = 0.75 s.

Fig. 1

(a) Write expressions for the transfer function of the D/A converter, W(s) , and for the z-

transform of the digital processor, Gc(z). [3 marks]

(b) Represent the system in the z-domain; i.e. draw a block diagram showing individual

z-transform functions for the controller and plant components. [10 marks]

(c) Calculate the steady-state error of the system for a unit ramp input. [7 marks]

(a) Write the closed loop z-transfer function of the system of Fig, 2. Given that one of

the poles is at z = 0.115, calculate the remaining poles and zeroes. [6 marks]

(b) Map the closed-loop poles and zeroes into the s-plane, and based solely on pole

locations in the primary strip, estimate the following quantities for a unit step input:

[10 marks]

(i) percentage overshoot

(ii) ±2% settling time

(c) Comment on how you would expect the system step response to vary from that

predicted in part (b) due to: [4 marks]

(i) choice of sampling interval, T

(ii) the presence of the zero

Question 4

The P+I controller shown in Fig. 3 was designed according to Ziegler-Nichols rules. The

controller is to be replaced with a digital PID controller.

(a) Explain why the addition of a component of derivative action makes good sense in

this case. [2 marks]

interval for the digital controller. Apply the bilinear transformation to derive a z-

transform function for the digital processor. [9 marks]

the digital processor. [2 marks]
