Description

  The present invention automatically controls a plant by feeding back a speed control device for a mechanical product that performs speed control by feeding back a speed actual value measured by a speed sensor or the like, and a measurement signal of a plant physical quantity measured by a sensor attached to the plant. The present invention relates to a filter device in a plant control device or the like, and a feedback control device using the filter device.

  When a physical quantity of a control target is measured using a sensor and the measurement signal is fed back to perform feedback control of the control target, since the sensor signal generally contains high frequency noise, a low pass filter is provided to provide a high frequency. Reducing the gain and reducing the adverse effects of high frequency disturbances on the feedback control system has been implemented.

  However, since the low-pass filter has a phase lag characteristic from a frequency region lower than its cut-off frequency, the control performance in the frequency region to be originally controlled may be deteriorated. For example, in roll drive devices and robot arms used for speed control of metal processing lines and paper / film production lines, shaft vibrations occur due to the elasticity of the drive transmission shaft. There are cases where vibration is excited and stability is impaired.

  For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-260260, the control system has two degrees of freedom, and a compensator including a phase advance element is introduced into the control loop to improve the phase of the control system. Techniques for suppression are disclosed.

  In addition to the speed control device, there are cases where the high-frequency disturbance characteristics of the controlled object become a problem, such as tension vibration in the high-frequency region of the rolling mill control system disclosed in Patent Document 2. In order to solve this problem, in Patent Document 2, the effect of high-frequency vibration is reduced by performing phase delay compensation on the control signal and increasing the relative low-frequency gain, and then the phase advance is performed to improve the phase. A technique for performing compensation is disclosed.

JP-A-9-274503 JP 2003-126905 A

  However, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, since the phase advance element has an effect of increasing the high-frequency gain, the high-frequency gain is increased for the round trip transfer characteristic of the feedback control loop, and the high-frequency disturbance that should have been once reduced by the low-pass filter. There is a problem that the influence from is strengthened to some extent again. That is, the low-pass filter and the phase advance element are in a trade-off relationship, and it is difficult to perform optimum adjustment.

  The present invention provides a filter device having a small phase delay in a frequency band to be controlled in order to prevent deterioration of control characteristics while reducing unnecessary high frequency components such as noise in an input signal in a control device such as feedback control, and An object of the present invention is to provide a feedback control device using the same.

A differential characteristic processing unit that outputs a signal and an addition processing unit that adds the phase lag signal and the differential signal to obtain an output signal are provided.
Another feature of the filter device according to the present invention is that the transfer function of the first-order lag filter unit is WF / (s + WF), the differential characteristic processing unit is a first-order pseudo-differential circuit, and the transfer function is GD × s / (s + WD), and WF, GD, and WD are real numbers that satisfy the relationship of the following expression.

The feedback control device according to the present invention is characterized in that the filter device according to the present invention is arranged in a control loop to reduce the influence of high-frequency disturbance on the feedback signal and prevent the control performance from being deteriorated due to the phase delay.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
<First Embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 1, the filter device of the first embodiment is connected in parallel with a first-order lag filter 10 having an effect of reducing high-frequency components of an input signal and a differential characteristic processing unit 20 having an effect of phase improvement. Thus, the addition processing unit 13 adds the output signals. Thus, while reducing the phase delay in the vicinity of the cutoff frequency generated by the first-order lag filter, the frequency region in the vicinity of the cutoff frequency has the same high-frequency component reduction effect as that of the first-order lag filter.

  In FIG. 1, the first-order lag filter 10 includes an amplifier 12, an integrator 11, and a subtraction processing unit 14.

  For example, the differential characteristic processing unit 20 shown in Table 1 is used. In Table 1, s is a Laplace operator.

  As for the differential characteristic processing unit 20, the pseudo-differential circuit includes a gain adjustment amplifier 21, an integrator 11, an amplifier 22 for determining a cutoff frequency, and a subtraction processing unit 14, as shown in FIG.

  The polynomial arithmetic circuit (third order) includes a plurality of gain adjustment amplifiers 23 to 29, a plurality of integrators 11, a plurality of addition processing units 13, and a subtraction processing unit 14 as shown in FIG. Consists of. Among the gain adjustment amplifiers 23 to 29, the gain adjustment amplifiers 23, 24, and 25 determine the 0th, 1st, and 2nd order coefficients of the denominator s polynomial in the transfer function of the polynomial arithmetic circuit, respectively. 28 and 29 are parameters for determining the 0th, 1st, 2nd and 3rd order coefficients of the numerator s polynomial in the transfer function, respectively. As is well known, differential characteristics in an arbitrary frequency region can be obtained by appropriately selecting the denominator coefficient. For example, if b3 = 0.2, b2 = 200, b1 = 40000, b0 = 0, a2 = 3000, a1 = 3000,000, a0 = 400000000, it is possible to provide differential characteristics in a region of 1000 rad / sec or less. it can. In Table 1, a cubic polynomial is described as an example of a polynomial arithmetic circuit, but a quadratic polynomial or a fourth or higher order polynomial can be selected in the same manner.

  In the frequency region considerably higher than the cut-off frequency, the gain characteristic increases compared to the case of the first-order lag filter alone, but usually in this region, the gain characteristic of the controlled object itself is sufficiently small, or the computer constituting the controller Since it becomes an area | region higher than a calculation period, it does not become a problem substantially.

  The operation of the first embodiment will be described in detail below. FIG. 6 shows a block configuration of the filter device in the case where the primary delay filter 10 and the differential characteristic elements connected in parallel are primary pseudo-differential circuits (FIG. 2A). The transfer characteristic G (s) of this filter device is expressed by the following equation (2).

  Here, GD is a parameter for adjusting the gain of the pseudo-differential circuit, WD is a parameter for determining the differentiation end frequency, and WF is a parameter for determining the cutoff frequency of the first-order lag filter.

  In other words, the low-frequency characteristics are asymptotic to the low-frequency characteristics of the first-order lag filter 10 and the high-frequency characteristics are asymptotic to the high-frequency characteristics of the pseudo-differentiator. An example of the transfer characteristic G (s) of the filter device of the present embodiment is represented by a frequency characteristic graph as shown in FIG. 9 (in FIG. 9, GD = 0.316226, WD = 400, WF = 400). In FIG. 9, 91 is a gain characteristic, 92 is a phase characteristic, 93 is a gain characteristic of a first-order lag filter, 94 is a phase characteristic of a first-order lag filter, 95 is a gain characteristic of a pseudo-differential circuit, 96 is a phase characteristic of a pseudo-differential circuit, 97 is a cutoff frequency of the first-order lag filter, 98 is an example of the cutoff frequency vicinity, and 99 is a portion having a phase improvement effect.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, the gain characteristic 91 in the first embodiment is asymptotic to the gain characteristic 93 of the first-order lag filter in the low frequency region and asymptotic to the gain characteristic 95 of the pseudo-differential circuit in the high frequency region. Thus, the characteristic of reducing the high frequency gain is obtained.

  At the same time, as shown in the phase characteristic of FIG. 9B, the phase characteristic 92 in the first embodiment can significantly reduce the phase lag compared to the phase characteristic 94 of the first-order lag filter.

  As can be seen from the above equation and FIG. 9A, the pseudo-differential circuit gain adjustment parameter GD needs to be a value smaller than 1 in order to reduce the high-frequency gain.

  FIG. 9 is an adjustment that emphasizes the effect of improving the phase delay. However, if another adjustment is made, the phase delay may be set smaller than that of the primary delay filter while the filter effect is enhanced as compared with the primary delay filter as shown in FIG. It is possible (GD = 0.2, WD = 1500, WF = 400 in FIG. 10). In FIG. 10, 101 is a gain characteristic, 102 is a phase characteristic, 103 is a gain characteristic of a first-order lag filter, 104 is a phase characteristic of a first-order lag filter, 105 is a gain characteristic of a pseudo-differential circuit, 106 is a phase characteristic of a pseudo-differential circuit, Reference numeral 107 denotes a cutoff frequency of the first-order lag filter.

  Next, the comparison of the first embodiment will be described. Although the circuit components are the same as described above, a case is considered in which a phase lead compensation circuit 70 using a first-order lag filter 10 and a pseudo-differential circuit (FIG. 2A) is connected in series (block configuration in FIG. 7). . This circuit is based on the idea of using the first-order lag filter 10 to reduce the gain in the high-frequency region and then using the phase lead compensation circuit 70 for improving the phase, and can be easily devised. The transfer characteristic G2 (s) of this circuit is expressed by equation (3).

  A comparison with the first embodiment is shown in FIG. 11 (in FIG. 11, GD = 0.2, WD = 1500, WF = 400). In FIG. 11, 111 is a gain characteristic, 112 is a phase characteristic, 113 is a gain characteristic of a first-order lag filter, 114 is a phase characteristic of a first-order lag filter, 115 is a proportional gain characteristic, and 116 is a proportional phase characteristic.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, the phase characteristic 116 of the proportionality can improve the phase as compared with the phase characteristic 114 of only the first-order lag filter by the effect of the phase lead compensation circuit 70. As seen from the gain characteristic 115, the filter effect in the cutoff frequency region is weaker than the gain characteristic 113 of the first-order lag filter.

  On the other hand, the gain characteristic 111 of the first embodiment has a higher gain reduction effect near the cutoff frequency than the case of only the proportional or first-order lag filter, and at the same time, the phase characteristic 112 shows that the phase characteristic 112 Improvement effect has also been realized.

  A well-known circuit having a frequency characteristic similar to the frequency characteristic (FIG. 9) of the filter device of this embodiment is a phase delay compensation circuit. This can be expressed by the block configuration shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, reference numeral 81 denotes a gain adjustment amplifier of the phase lag compensation circuit.

  The frequency characteristics are as shown in FIG. In FIG. 12, 121 is a gain characteristic, 122 is a phase characteristic, 123 is a gain characteristic of a first-order lag filter, 124 is a phase characteristic of a first-order lag filter, 125 is a gain characteristic of a phase lag compensation circuit, and 126 is a phase of the phase lag compensation circuit. It is a characteristic. Compared with the filter device of the present embodiment, the degree of freedom of adjustment is small, and the effect is low as shown in the second embodiment with reference to FIG. In FIG. 17, 171 is a motor speed, 172 is a roll speed, and 173 is a motor torque.

<Second Embodiment>
The second embodiment is an example in which the filter device of the present invention is incorporated in a feedback control device. Hereinafter, an example applied to the speed control system (FIG. 13) of the roll drive device in the production of steel having shaft torsional vibration will be described. In FIG. 13, 131 is a drive motor, 132 is a sheet passing roll, 133 is a steel plate, and 134 is tension.

  The block diagram of this feedback device can be described as in FIG. Here, 32 is a transmission characteristic of the torque generating mechanism of the roll driving device and the driven mechanical device, input 301 is a torque command value, and output 302 is the speed of the motor.

  Reference numeral 33 denotes a transmission characteristic of a sensor for measuring the motor speed and its signal processing device. The speed feedback signal 303 actually measured is subtracted from the speed target value signal 304 by the subtraction processing unit 14 to obtain a speed deviation 305. The PI controller 31 is a speed controller that determines a torque command so that the speed deviation 305 is reduced, and an output 306 of the PI controller is an input to the filter 30 according to the first embodiment. Here, a PI controller is employed as the speed controller, but a PID controller may be employed as the speed controller.

  Reference numeral 34 denotes a model transfer characteristic obtained by removing high-frequency disturbances such as shaft torsional vibration and noise from 32 transfer characteristics, and 35 denotes a model transfer characteristic obtained by removing high-frequency disturbances such as noise from 33 transfer characteristics. As described.

  As a comparative example of the present embodiment, FIG. 4 shows an example of a conventional speed control device configuration in which shaft torsion vibration suppression control is not applied to the speed control system of the steel roll drive device. A first-order lag filter F is introduced in the control loop to remove noise from the torque command signal. FIG. 14 is a plot of the target value step response of this control system. In FIG. 14, 141 is the motor speed, 142 is the roll speed, and 143 is the motor torque. Shaft torsional vibration is evident.

  When the shaft torsional vibration suppression control (shown in the block diagram of FIG. 5) described in Patent Document 1 is added to this, the step response becomes as shown in FIG. 15, and although the shaft torsional vibration can be greatly improved, it is slightly vibrational. Thus, the effect of high frequency noise is often seen in the torque graph. In FIG. 15, 151 is the motor speed, 152 is the roll speed, and 153 is the motor torque.

  Therefore, when this embodiment is applied and the pseudo-differential circuit and the first-order lag filter are arranged in parallel (FIG. 3), the step response is as shown in FIG. In particular, it can be seen that the ripple of the torque waveform can be reduced. In FIG. 16, 161 is a motor speed, 162 is a roll speed, and 163 is a motor torque.

  Here, for comparison, FIG. 17 is a plot of the step response when the phase delay compensation circuit shown in FIG. 8 is introduced into the control loop instead of the filter device of the present invention. Since the phase characteristics are better than the case of the single-order lag filter alone (FIG. 14), there is less vibration, but the effect is less than that of the present embodiment (FIG. 16), which is equivalent to the case of only Patent Document 1 (FIG. 15). Only results have been obtained. The parameters used in FIGS. 14, 15, 16, and 17 are GD = 0.5, WD = 200, and WF = 450.
