Lab 1: Change Proportional (P) Value
Figure 1
Based on figure 1 shows that Proportional (P) value was manipulated. This mode determines
how much change the output will make due to a change in error from a Process Variable (PV)
lies on y-axis while the x-axis shows that time taken in seconds (s) and the speed of response
for the loop. The higher the controller gain, the faster the loop response. For each loop, there
is a maximum value of the controller gain, known as the ultimate gain, for which the loop was
stable. The first value inserted was 0.05 which is the purple line colour. It shows that the highest
oscillates was happened at 0.05 value and started to steady-state at 400 seconds. However, the
yellow line colour shows that the value inserted was 0.9 and started to steady-state at 100
seconds followed by black line colour shows that the value inserted was 0.3 and started to
steady-state less than 10 seconds. The comparison between the proportional value was the best
line goes to range value between 0.1 until 0.3. If the value was double from 0.3, the response
for time taken to steady-state a bit late and the difference might be 90 seconds based on the
result. The loop respond depends on the range proportional value between 0.1 until 0.3.
Lab 2: Change Integral (I) Value
Figure 2
Based on the figure 2 shows that Integral (I) value was manipulated. The integral mode does
not produce a faster response. It determines how much to change the output over time due to
error (regardless of the direction of movement of the error). The only contribution of the
integral mode is to ensure that the loop can line out only at its setpoint (i.e there is no droop).
It accomplishes this by adjusting the value of the controller output bias. The bias must be
changed at a rate consistent with the response characteristics of the process. Changing the bias
too rapidly creates more oscillations and in extreme cases an unstable loop. It also difficult to
determine the best response at integral value. The black line colour shows that the integral
value was 0.01 whereas the red line colour shows that 0.002 followed by the green line colour
shows that 0.0006. The value inserted was 0.01, 0.002 and 0.0006 which at different decimal
points. The higher the decimal points, the better response will get. At this integral response
shows that slightly difference to steady-state compared to proportional response with a huge
difference to steady-state. The smaller the decimal points, it will get the higher oscillation. It
can be concluded that the higher the decimal points, the better integral response also stable
loop.
Lab 3: Change Derivative (D) Value
Figure 3
Derivative (D) value in some applications, derivative reduces the overshoot and oscillations.
In turn, this permits a higher value to be used for the controller gain, which increases the speed
of response. Based on the figure 3 shows that there was slightly difference for oscillations
happened. The green line colour shows that 0 value whereas red line colour shows that 1 value
followed by purple line colour shows that 1.5 value. From previous proportional and integral
response had a very nice graph process variable versus time. In this case, derivate was the third
harder to tuning and have a stable loop. Steady-state occurs at 500 seconds for 3 different values
derivative. It shown that these value was same amount of steady-state to reach. From
observation, the oscillations occur slightly difference. The higher oscillation was derivative 0
value whereas the smaller oscillation was derivative 1.5 value. The higher the number of
derivative value, the smaller the oscillation was happened. It can be concluded that the range
for derivative value tuning between 0 until 1.8.
Lab 4: Change Delay Time
Figure 4
Dead time also known as Delay Time (td). Dead time is the delay from when a controller output
signal is issued until when the measured process variable (PV) first begins to respond. The
presence of dead time was never a good thing in a control loop. The value for delay time
inserted was 5, 7 followed by 9. The orange line colour shows delay time 5 value whereas the
dark green line colour shows 7 value followed by purple line colour shows 9 value. The higher
the delay time value, the higher the oscillation was occurred. It shows that the first oscillation
was the same with three value delay time. The smaller amount of delay time will occur faster
stable loop and steady-state started at below 100 seconds. The comparison steady-state between
delay time at 7 and 9 value was above 100 seconds and 480 seconds. This shown that it was
the huge difference steady-state. The sequences for delay time amount was 2. From
observation, the first sequence for delay time value of 5 slightly difference with the second
sequence for delay time value of 7. The range to steady-state between 100 to 200 seconds.
However, the third sequence for delay time value of 9 will started to steady-state at in the range
between 400 to 500 seconds. It took longer time to stable loop at set point equals to 1. The
smaller oscillation depends on the smaller value of delay time.
