Preface 1 Preface Objective of the Application The area of application of the model predictive controller provided in SIMATIC PCS 7 (function block ModPreCon and MPC respectively) is restricted by the following fact: The control algorithm only works for stable processes with a step response settling to a constant value in a finite time horizon. If the process is not stable or shows an integral action (e.g. level control, position control), the respective sub transfer functions have t

Introduction 2.3 Examples of Unstable Control Loops 2.3.1 Level Control If the level of a tank with continuous feed is to be controlled via an adjustable drain as actuator (e.g. pump or valve with or without flow control), the control loop shows integrating behaviour. An equilibrium condition of the level only exists if the drain is exactly equal to the feed. The level permanently decreases until the tank is empty, if the drain is in- creased stepwise starting at this equilibrium conditi

Introduction feed water tanks. There are different objectives for level control according to the plant context [also see Related Literature /2./]: Keep level constant (exactly at the set point) – important for levels directly in- fluencing the process; disturbances are passed through to the output (drain). Keep level as small as possible – if “dead volume” and inventory are undesir- able. Keep level inside specified limits while using the tank as buffer – changes in level are tol

Introduction 2.3.3 Position Control The control loop shows integrating behaviour if the position of mechanical parts is controlled and the speed of the actuator is available as manipulated variable. An "equilibrium condition" without move in the position only exists for a speed equal to zero. The valve actuator is a common example for position control in process plants. However, the valve position controllers are mostly integrated in the corre- sponding actuators and hence not an issue fo

Stabilization of Unstable Control Loops 3 Stabilization of Unstable Control Loops Regarding the stabilization of unstable control loops, integral processes and mono- tone unstable or oscillating unstable processes have to be distinguished. In general only an analysis in frequency domain is helpful for oscillating control loops. As an example, displacements of unstable poles to the stable domain can be examined using root locus analysis [also see Related Literature /3./]. These oscillat

Stabilization of Unstable Control Loops k i The behaviour of an integrating process g s can be described by i s t s 1 1 two parameters: The maximal gradient k of the response to a unit-step (of height one) i The delay time t needed by the process to reach its maximal gradient after a 1 step in the manipulated variable (intersection point of the tangent with the base line in Figure 3-1) The transfer function of the closed loop including a proportional-only controller k s

Stabilization of Unstable Control Loops 3.2 PID Tuner The PCS 7 PID tuner can be used for integral processes without problems if at least one stable controller parameterization is already available. The following hints are helpful for this: Fix the check mark „With integral action in the process“ Excite the process with a step in the set point in closed loop in automatic mode Chose the proportional only controller as controller type, at least, if you want to use this controller

Configuration of MPC with Slave Controller 4 Configuration of MPC with Slave Controller 4.1 Starting Point The starting point is the standard connection of the MPC with its actuators. The structure of the following example corresponds to the control of product quality (CV1) and level (CV2) in a reactor as mentioned in section 2.3.4. However, this ex- ample is not a realistic simulation of a real reactor. Figure 4-1 Original signal flow chart of an MPC with 2x2 process, where the main t

Configuration of MPC with Slave Controller 4.3 Commissioning The parameterization of the controller and the commissioning is done „from interior to exterior” as in any cascade control. First the slave controller is tuned (see chap- ter 3) and switched to automatic mode. Afterwards the slave controller is switched to cascade mode and the master controller is parameterized. While tuning the mas- ter controller please consider that the whole inner closed control loop of the slave controlle

Simulation Example Figure 5-2 OS picture of the example project Despite the interaction between both manipulated variables MV1 and MV2 and the integral action of MV2 on PV2, both control variables PV1 and PV2 of the master controller can be controlled to their given set points independently of each other, which is a success of the described control concept. A “crosstalk” between the in- teracting control loops can mostly be avoided, e.g. the level PV2 (dark green) is only moved min
