Abstract: This paper describes identification of the two poles
unstable SOPDT process, especially with large time delay. A new
modified relay feedback identification method for two poles unstable
SOPDT process is proposed. Furthermore, for the two poles unstable
SOPDT process, an additional Derivative controller is incorporated
parallel with relay to relax the constraint on the ratio of delay to the
unstable time constant, so that the exact model parameters of
unstable processes can be identified. To cope with measurement
noise in practice, a low pass filter is suggested to get denoised output
signal toimprove the exactness of model parameter of unstable
process. PID Lead-lag tuning formulas are derived for two poles
unstable (SOPDT) processes based on IMC principle. Simulation
example illustrates the effectiveness and the simplicity of the
proposed identification and control method.
