1. DISCRETE CONTROLLER DESIGN

 

• In controller design we try to meet some objective. Typical objectives include,

- positioning - for moving from position to position, where the setpoint is changed suddenly

deadbeat control

first order

- tracking - for following paths where setpoints are constantly changing

first order

- disturbance resistant - unexpected variations can be compensated for

step response

- multi-stage - for complex systems that need small errors

feed forward disturbance - can reduce effects of disturbances

feed forward command - to follow complex motions

cascade - a controller that examines intermediate steps of a process

 

• typical constraints to be developed are,

- stability - does not diverge over time

- stability - sampling period is short enough (no-aliasing)

- realizable - does not refer to future values
