AB  - Practical Design of PID-type Controllers with Constraints

The proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller has been extensively used in the process industries and is taught in most undergraduate engineering and engineering technology programs. Various PID design methods have been proposed over the years such as the famous Ziegler-Nichols method [1], the Internal Model Control (IMC) method [2], and many variations of it. 

Given a process model, these methods estimate values for the PID tuning parameters: proportional gain, integral time, and derivative time. However, most of these methods include a tunable parameter, for instance the filter time constant in the case of the IMC method that the user must tune. In addition, manufacturers of control systems include PID controllers with additional tunable parameters for setpoint weighting and derivative filtering.  Furthermore, none of these techniques considers process constraints in the PID design. However, from a practical viewpoint, process and control element constraints must be accounted for. 

A methodology based on co-simulation has been developed to tune PID controllers subject to controlled variable as well as manipulated variable (size and rate) constraints while a performance criterion is optimized [3]. 

This paper extends the methodology of [3] to determine the “tunable” parameters of other PID design methods while process and equipment constraints are satisfied. Estimation of the IMC filter time constant, setpoint weighting, and derivative filter will be considered. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the practicality of the new PID design method.
