2DOF controller tuning

Abstract

At present the two degrees of freedom (2DOF) controllers are more often available. These controllers enable to tune both from point of view of the desired variable and the disturbance variable as well. It allows increase the overall quality of control. For the tuning of the 2DOF controllers to date there are only a few suitable methods. This paper is devoted to the tuning of the 2DOF PI and PID controllers by the multiple dominant pole method (MDPM) for first order plants and integrating plants with time delay. It is an analytical method and it is shown that by the corresponding tuning of the 2DOF controllers it is possible to obtain the non-oscillatory servo and regulatory step responses without overshoots. The use is demonstrated in the example.
