    This study determines stability limits for PID controller parameters in multi-lag processes. Approximations offer rapid estimation of stable operating regions for improved process control.

    Area of Science:

    • Control Systems Engineering
    • Process Automation
    • Industrial Control

    Background:

    • Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers are widely used in industrial automation.
    • Determining stability limits for PID controllers in processes with multiple time delays (lags) is crucial for reliable operation.
    • Existing methods for stability analysis can be complex and time-consuming for multi-lag systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the stability limits for PID controller parameters in processes characterized by multiple lags.
    • To develop graphical representations of these limits in the gain-integral plane.
    • To create approximations for the Proportional-Integral (PI) controller limits to facilitate rapid stability assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of PID controller dynamics for systems with multiple time delays.

  • Graphical plotting of stability boundaries in the controller gain (Kp) and integral time (Ti) or integral gain (Ki) plane.
  • Development of approximate analytical functions for PI controller stability limits.

    • Main Results:

    • Stability limits for PID controller parameters were successfully determined for multi-lag processes.
    • The stability limits were visualized in the gain-integral plane, providing a clear operating envelope.
    • Approximation functions for PI controller stability limits were derived, enabling quick estimation of the stable region.

    Conclusions:

    • The derived stability limits and approximation functions provide valuable tools for tuning PID controllers in complex, multi-lag industrial processes.
    • Rapid estimation of the stable region is achievable using the developed approximations, which depend on maximum gain and the sum of lags.
    • This work enhances the robustness and efficiency of process control by simplifying stability analysis.
