Effect of deadtime


Perform the following tasks.

1. Prepare the following control loop.

2. Process transfer function =

Process set point =1

Add transport delay and set Time Delay to 5

3. PID controllers parameters are: P =0.2, I =0.01 and D =0.

4. Set simulation parameters to 600.

5. Run the simulation.

6. Plot PV vs time.

>> plot(time,PV)

7. Run a second set of Time delay = 7

8. Plot the second process response.

>> figure(2), plot(time,PV)

9. Run a third set of Time delay =9



10. Plot the second process response.

>> figure(3), plot(time,PV)

11. Combine response of figure(2) and figure(3) into figure(1).

12. Your result should look like this.

0 100 200 300 400 500 600

13. Save your work for future report writing.

14. Write a one-page report on the effect of dead time (i.e. Time delay) to the process
controllability.

15. Submit your report by the end of lab session.
