Abstract

Abstract A control computation unit (20) includes a delay element (31) in addition to an integrating element (22) and a proportional element (23). The delay time (ε -STd ) of this delay element is selected, following the time necessary for due settling (namely, the time required for rendering a controlled variable to follow changes in a control variable command), or the time necessary to restore the controlled variable to the control variable command when a controlled object involved has incurred a certain external disturbance. In case there exist a computation delay time, a dead time, and/or a detection delay time, respectively in the control computation unit (20), controlled system, and/or a control variable detector, then the delay time is selected equal to one of the computation delay time, dead time, and the detection delay time, or the sum of these times. Additional provision of the delay element (31) with a delay time equal to the time desired for due settling to the control computation unit (20) results in settling within the time equal to the time desired for due settling the response.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 173 words
A feedback control system which operates a controlled object (10) according to a manipulation variable command (ei), comprising: means (100) for detecting an amount of control for said controlled object (10) to provide a controlled variable (eo); means (21, 240) for controlling the amount of control for said controlled object (10) according to a control output (ec) representing a difference (Δe) between the controlled variable (eo) and the manipulation variable command (ei), such that the controlled variable (ec) approaches to the manipulation variable command (ei), wherein said controlling means (21, 240) has a transfer function F(s) containing a complex parameter s as a variable, and a degree of the complex parameter s, which is a denominator of an expression of the transfer function F(s), is equal to or more than a degree of the complex parameter s, which is a numerator of said expression; and means (31, 34) for combining the control output (ec) with a delay signal (ey) which is obtained by delaying the controlled variable (eo) by a predetermined time (Tc).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 173 words
A feedback control system which operates a controlled object (10) according to a manipulation variable command (ei), comprising: means (100) for detecting an amount of control for said controlled object (10) to provide a controlled variable (eo); means (21, 240) for controlling the amount of control for said controlled object (10) according to a control output (ec) representing a difference (Δe) between the controlled variable (eo) and the manipulation variable command (ei), such that the controlled variable (ec) approaches to the manipulation variable command (ei), wherein said controlling means (21, 240) has a transfer function F(s) containing a complex parameter s as a variable, and a degree of the complex parameter s, which is a denominator of an expression of the transfer function F(s), is equal to or more than a degree of the complex parameter s, which is a numerator of said expression; and means (31, 34) for combining the control output (ec) with a delay signal (ey) which is obtained by delaying the controlled variable (eo) by a predetermined time (Tc).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 32 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim 40 words
The feedback control system according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that said predeter­mined time (Tc) represents time necessary for the amount of control for said controlled object (10) to follow changes in the manipulation variable command (ei).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 49 words
The feedback control system according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that said predeter­mined time (Tc) represents time necessary for restoring the controlled variable (eo), which has varied due to an external disturbance (ed) imposed on said controlled object (10), to the manipulation control variable command (ei).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 31 words
The feedback control system according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that said predeter­mined time (Tc) is time necessary to achieve the control performed by said controlling means (240).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 45 words
The feedback control system according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that said predeter­mined time (Tc) includes time corresponding to a delay (ε -STd* ) in the response of an output of said controlled object (10) with respect to said control output (ec).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 36 words
The feedback control system according to claim 7, characterized in that said predetermined time (Tc) includes time corresponding to the delay of the response of said controlled variable (eo) with respect to said control output (ec).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 62 words
The feedback control system according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that said predetermined time (Tc) includes time corresponding to a period of sampling a signal (e35) in the case where said controlling means (240) includes a configuration of sampled data control which provides said control output (ec), following the signal (e35) obtained by sampling said manipulation variable command (ei).
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 59 words
The feedback control system according to any one of claims 1 to 9, further comprising: means (32) for transforming said delay signal (ey) into a different signal (e32); and means (33) for feeding, in place of said controlled variable (eo), a difference (ex) between said controlled variable (co) and said different signal (e32) to said combining means (31, 34).
