In PID control, when the target value changes significantly due to the derivative term or proportional term, a large change in the manipulated variable is called a kick.
Here, I will explain I-PD type control, which is one of the techniques for suppressing kicks.
A similar control is called PI-D type control.
Normal PID control gains according to the deviation between the target value and the actual value.
On the other hand, in I-PD type control, the proportional term and differential term gain according to the actual value.
A comparison of the two is as follows. Note that the proportional term and the differential term are subtractions.
■I-PD type control design
The design result in Scilab is as follows. Click here for the controlled object and the contents of the differentiator
<Simulation result>
The parameters are as follows. You can see that there is no kick in the proportional and derivative terms.
Kp=2, Ki=4, Kd=0.35
<Disadvantages of I-PD type control>
With I-PD type control, there is no sudden change (kick) in the amount of operation, but there is a disadvantage of slow response.
The following methods are used to improve responsiveness.
■Feed forward and I-PD type control
To improve responsiveness, a gain is given to the target value as follows. This is the effect of feedforward.
<Simulation result>
The parameters are as follows. You can see that the responsiveness is better than when there is no F/F term.
However, increasing the F/F term requires retuning the PID term due to increased overshoot.
