Abstract
Abstract In this paper, the Parallel Control Structure (PCS) as an alternative to the Conventional Control Structure (CCS) is proposed to perform Transparent Online Tuning – the ability to independently manipulate the three most important performance attributes of a control loop: Set-point Tracking Performance, Disturbance-Rejection Performance and Robustness. Firstly, the extent to which Transparent Online Tuning is possible in the PCS is described and it is shown through derivations that the PCS maintains its transparent tuning feature even under mismatch conditions, provided that the Robust Stability Condition is satisfied. Secondly, by utilizing its transparent tuning feature the PCS can have greater Robustness than a Conventional Control Structure (CCS) with no loss in tracking performance. In addition, a generalized design procedure is presented which will direct the user towards proper utilization of the PCS’ transparent tuning. Simulation and experimental results are used to demonstrate the proposed design procedure and the Transparent Online Tuning feature of the PCS. Arguments will be presented to highlight that the PCS’ features are not available in a general Two Degree of Freedom (TDF) and One Degree of Freedom (ODF) structures.
