Frequently Asked Questions (17)
Q2. What is the transfer function of the class of unstable systems with pole multiplicity considered in this brief?
The roots that are located in the secondary sheets of the Riemann surface are related to solutions that are always monotonically decreasing functions [22], thus a system that has all poles in the secondary Riemann sheets is closed-loop stable.
Q3. What is the effect of the design on the magnetic levitation system?
The designed controller stabilizes the magnetic levitation system, with a settling time ts = 0.1 s in the linearization point, and a slight increase to ts = 0.15 s at different operating points.
Q4. what is the stability condition in a Riemann sheet?
(11)In the case of λ = (1/n), where n is a positive integer, the stability condition in (11) is modified to beθ( π2n , π n) ∪ ( − πn ,− π 2n) .
Q5. What is the characteristic equation for commensurate-order systems?
For the case of commensurate-order systems, where all the orders of derivation are integer multiples of a base order, the characteristic equation is a polynomial of the complex variable w = sλ.
Q6. What is the characteristic equation used to determine the stability of the closed-loop system?
(5)The characteristic equation used to determine the stability of the closed-loop system is thenk + sλ(s − z) = 0. (6)The equation in (6) is a function of the complex variable s whose domain can be seen as a Riemann surface, with the principal sheet defined as −π < arg(s) < π [22].
Q7. What is the final gain of the FO controller?
Considering that the process exhibits a 6.1 gain, the final FO controller gain is 98.5, with the transfer functionC(s) = −98.5 (s0.8 + 70 s0.2) . (33)To implement the FO controller, a digital approximation was derived using the recursive Tustin method, of ninth order, with a sampling time Ts = 2 ms [30].
Q8. what is the transfer function of the class of unstable systems with pole multiplicity considered in this brief?
The transfer function of the class of unstable systems with pole multiplicity considered in this brief isG(s) = 1 (s − z)(s + z) (1)with z > 0. A simple PD controller may be designed to stabilize the systemCPD(s) = k(s + z) (2) with z chosen to compensate the stable pole of the system in (1).
Q9. What is the current driver used to control the current running through the coil?
A current driver was used to control the current running through the coil, yielding a linear relation between voltage and currenti = u 67.83(20)where u is the voltage [V] and i is the current applied to the coil [A].
Q10. What is the tuning procedure for the classical integer order PID controller?
The tuning procedure for this type of controller is very simple and it is based upon specifying the overshoot requirement and determining the controller parameters directly based on stability analysis.
Q11. What is the vertical position of the levitating permanent magnet?
The vertical position of the levitating permanent magnet is measured using an SS495A ratiometric linear Hall sensor, which generates an output voltage that is proportional with the magnetic field.
Q12. what is the stability condition for a Riemann sheet?
The stability condition for these types of systems is expressed as [22], [28], [29]|θ | > λπ 2 . (9)Using (8) and making i = −1, the condition for the principal Riemann sheet is obtained as−λπ < θ < λπ. (10) Intersecting (9) and (10), yields the final stability conditionfor all roots lying in the first Riemann sheetθ ( λ π2 , λπ) ∪ ( − λπ,−λπ2) .
Q13. What is the resulting net force acting on the permanent magnet?
The resulting net force acting on the permanent disk magnet, denoted Fnet, is computed using Newton’s law of motion while neglecting friction
Q14. What is the root locus analysis for a Riemann sheet?
It can be easily seen from (14) that for m = 0, the roots that lie in the principal Riemann sheet correspond to w = 0 and w = z(1/n), with all other roots, corresponding to m = 0, located in the secondary sheets.
Q15. What is the advantage of the tuning procedure proposed in this brief?
A second advantage of the tuning procedure proposed in this brief, consists in the direct computation of the controller parameters, with no optimization routines required.
Q16. What is the stability condition for a closed-loop system?
According to Fig. 1(a), in order for the closed-loop system to have a certain overshoot, denoted %OS, the poles must lie on the %OS line.
Q17. What is the fundamental principle of the closed-loop system?
These roots are generally referred to as the structural roots of the system and are responsible for the closed-loop system exhibiting either damped oscillation, oscillation of constant amplitude, oscillation of increasing amplitude with monotonic growth.
