Abstract
With the rapid development of industrial technology, the multi-point (multi-input multi-output) heating processing systems with integrated temperature control have been increasingly needed to achieve high-quality and high-performance processing. In this paper, in response to the demand for proper transient response and to provide more accurate temperature controls, a novel pole-zero cancelation method is proposed for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) temperature control in heating process systems. In the proposed method, the temperature differences and transient characteristics of all points can be improved by compensating dead time difference and coupling effect together by matrix compensation and pole-zero cancelation with the feedforward reference model. Both simulations and experiments were carried out. The results were compared to the well-tuned conventional PI control system and PI plus decoupling compensation system to evaluate the control efficiency of the proposed method.
Highlights
Industrial processes, such as thermal processes, manufacturing processes, producing processes and so on, are becoming more and more important, and have higher requirement for the operation performance
Experiments with the proposed pole-zero cancelation control method were carried out using parameter values identical to those used in the simulation
Phase 1: The transient response has been improved to about 250 s rising time as fast as the well-tuned PI control, almost 750 s shortened compared to the PI plus decoupling compensation, and no overshoot compared to the conventional PI control (8% overshoot); Phase 2: The maximum temperature difference between these two channels has been minified almost half that of PI plus decoupling compensation, and the temperature difference quickly goes down to zero compared to the conventional PI control, temperature uniformity has been realized
Summary
Industrial processes, such as thermal processes, manufacturing processes, producing processes and so on, are becoming more and more important, and have higher requirement for the operation performance. A thermal process system, as one of the most complex processes, has a wide range of applications in the industrial field, especially in the food processes. Especially the multi-point (multi-input multi-output) thermal processing systems, are playing a more and more important role in the industrial application fields. The demands for the multi-point system to achieve high-quality and high-performance processing has been severely raised. Among the various thermal processing techniques, the conventional proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control method has become the most commonly used control method because of its simplicity, efficiency, and wide applicability.
