Definitions
- This invention relates to an apparatus and method for adjusting the gains of a controller, and more specifically to an apparatus and method for adjusting the gains of an analog proportional-integral differential controller using a digital processor.
- Feed back and feed forward controllers are commonly employed to maintain temperature, humidity, pressure, and flow rates for heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning equipment. They are also used in a variety of other systems such as vibration control, chemical process industry, and to control mechanical servos. In such systems, the controller adjusts the control action based on a feedback signal indicative of the "controlled variable".
- the feedback signal is generated by a sensor disposed to monitor the controlled variable.
- a feed forward signal can be used to adjust the controlled action by monitoring controller inputs.
- the object of such controllers is to control the system in such a way as to maintain the controlled variable, as sensed by the feedback signal, at a desired level (the "setpoint").
- the controller of a vibrating system attempts to maintain the amplitude of the vibrations in the system at a specific level.
- the controller must appropriately adjust the control action of an actuator to bring the actual system amplitude back in line with the desired value.
- the controller will cause the control action of the actuator to change so that the actual amplitude of the system increases.
- the controller will cause the control action of the actuator to change so that the amplitude of the system decreases.
- Control parameters are values used by a controller to determine how to control a system based on the feedback signal and the setpoint.
- the appropriate values for these parameters may change over time as the system is used.
- the dynamics of a process may be altered by system damping, inherent nonlinear behavior, ambient variations, environmental changes such as large and frequent disturbances, and unusual operations status, such as failures, startup and shutdown.
- the process of adjusting the control parameters of a controller to compensate for such system changes is called retuning. If a controller is not retuned, the control response may be poorer than a retuned system. For example, the controlled variable may become unstable or oscillate widely with respect to the setpoint. Thus, to insure adequate performance, controllers must be periodically retuned with new control parameter values.
- a second class of vibration control problem deals with adding or removing vibrational resonances in a system to improve performance, product quality, or safety.
- An example of this type of problem is an industrial robot arm where vibrations cause production errors.
- Other examples of this class of problem include tuning rotating shafts using rotation dampers. In cases where a narrow frequency band of vibrations exists in a structure
- a traditional engineering control consists of adding a passive mechanical resonator, typically a Vibration Absorber ("VA"), which are tuned to reduce the unwanted noise/ vibration.
- VA Vibration Absorber
- the VA is a passive device that consists of mass coupled through a spring to the primary vibrating system.
- the VA absorbs vibration energy at its resonant frequency decreasing the vibration of the primary vibration system.
- the VA resonant frequency is determined by the physical parameters of the mass and spring.
- Past effort by others has been made to physically vary the resonator parameters with time, to achieve a variable tuned device.
- a driven force actuator incorporated into an VA can be used to create a desired vibrational impedance and thus change the noise reducing properties of the VA without physical changes to the physical mass and spring.
- this invention provides a hybrid-analog controller that overcomes the problems and disadvantages of conventional controllers.
- the system utilizes a hybrid digital proportional-integral controller to actively control vibrating systems at higher resonant frequencies and at lower cost than ever before possible.
- the controller described below incorporates the key developments in semiconductor technologies that now make it possible to implement high speed active noise and vibration control at a fraction of the costs of previous equipment.
- the controller is described in a non-limiting example as a PI D controller being combined with a passive semi-active resonator). It is envisioned the techniques and apparatus disclosed herein is equally applicable to other controllers, e.g., a lead-lag controller.
- the device is effective in reducing vibration or acoustic noise from propagating in a component.
- the SR consists of a passive resonator with the addition of a sensor and controller driven compensated actuator on one surface of the vibrating member.
- the vibrational or acoustic impedance of the SR can be varied from a nominal value, and the resonant frequency and amplitude of the resulting vibrational/acoustic filter can be changed on line.
- the system described herein provides a solution of using active control to modify the acoustic response of a passive acoustic resonator or vibrational resonator in real time.
- a successful working model of the Semi-active Resonator ("SR") can be used in systems such as compressed air lines to continuously reduce plant noises associated with an air compressor and thus provided improved safety and comfort for manufacturing plant operators.
- the SR can be used to quiet industrial processes that produce noise, which varies in frequency over time.
- This system would function as a self-contained device with few moving parts and integrate smoothly with the primary vibrational or acoustic system, thus eliminating the complexity of changing the physical dimensions of the acoustic system during operation.
- the SR system disclosed represents a powerful new tool in tuning resonant systems.
- the SR adds a nominal resonance to any acoustic or vibrational system and allows the resonance frequency and damping to be charged real-time, continuously over a range of frequencies. It has advantages over other technologies in that it does not add significant mechanical complexity, the design places the sensitive sensor and actuator away from the direct path of the process, and it is fault tolerant.
- Four SRs are envisioned: the first utilizes a Helmholtz resonator; the second utilizes a quarter wave resonator; the third utilizes known spring mass passive absorber; the fourth utilizes piezo-electric actuators and sensors .
- Each of the resonator systems are converted to "semi-active" resonators by utilizing actuators and incorporating a sensor into resonator cavity or compliant element.
- the actuator and sensors being coupled to the controller to allow changes on the resonances of the SR system.

- FIG 1 shows the configuration of the Hybrid Digital-Analog Controller 10 which has two (2) components: a digital control gain analyzer 15 and an analog controller 20.
- Digital control analyzer 15 uses controller inputs 25 and analog controller output 30 as well as auxiliary input signals 35 to determine the PID control gains 40 that are optimal for the current operating conditions of the system under control.
- Digital control analyzer 15 then adjusts the gains on the analog controller 20 to match those optimal gains.
- Hybrid Digital-Analog Controller 10 combines the flexibility of digital control with the low cost and high speed of analog control elements. Control gains 40 of analog controller 20 are changed through the application of digital signals to digitally controlled resistors 45 ( Figure 3).
- Hybrid Digital-Analog Controller 10 substantially improves the performance of these controllers by allowing the adaptation of PID control gains through the use of digitally controlled potentiometers in analog op-amp PID control circuits.
- Hybrid Digital-Analog Controller 10 A crucial factor in the efficiency and performance of Hybrid Digital-Analog Controller 10 is the accuracy with which digital control analyzer 15 determines the new PID gains 40 after any given change to the inputs 25, 30, and 35. It is envisioned that the digital control analyzer 15 would contain algorithms or a look-up table to set the analog controller 20 gains based upon the values of the input or inputs 25, 30, and 35). Automatic control technology is widely employed in both the industrial sector and for consumer goods. More accurate, responsive and reliable control is possible through the application of feedback ( Figure 2).
- the use of feedback increases accuracy of the control response, c(t) but makes the system response and stability very dependent on the design of the controller.
- the hybrid controller's digital control analyzer uses controller control input, e(t) and output, a(t) as well as well as other auxilary inputs to configure the controller's analog control elements. This ability to digitally reconfigure itself in response to changing operating conditions allows controls designed to optimize control response over a variety of operating conditions. Previous analog controls are unable to reconfigure themselves in this way.
- At least one measured signal is used to characterize the closed loop response.
- the signal may be controller output 30, controller input 25, or auxiliary 35 signal. From these parameters, the optimal gains of analog controller 20 are determined and adjusted. Specifically, the gain of analog controller 20 is adjusted using digitally variable resistors 45 located within proportional 50, integral 55, and derivative 60 branches of analog controller 20.
- the digital signal analyzer is a micro-controller such as the Basic Stamp TM, BS1-IC by Parallex, Inc., which monitors operating conditions at a relatively slow rate (10-100 times/sec) through measurements made on the controller input and any auxiliary input signals.
- the micro-controller digital control analyzer 15 computes optimal gains and then sets those gains in the analog controller 20 unit using either sequences of pulses, standard serial protocols or other digital signals.
- Commercially available digital resistors 45a-45c use a variety of digital interface signals to set their internal value.
- An example of the digitally controlled resistor is the DS1804 NV 100 step trimmer potentiometer from Dallas Semi-conductor.
- the analog controller 20 using readily available operational amplifiers has gain- bandwidths of 1-10 MHz. These highly responsive amplifiers in the analog circuit would allow the DA/PID controller to control systems with rapidly changing sensor signals far beyond the operational abilities of purely digital control systems. Because micro-controllers and digital resistors 45a-45c are inexpensive components, a DA/PID control system could be implemented with the flexibility of a pure digital controller at a substantially lower cost.
- Figure 3 shows the electronic configuration of a hybrid control system 10 using digitally controlled resistors 45a- 45c.
- Each signal path includes an operational amplifier circuit 65a-65c.
- the output/input gain of these amplifiers 65a-65c is varied through the setting of digital resistors 45a-45c in each signal path for the analog controller's 20 proportional 50, integral 55, and derivative 60 gains.
- These digital resistors 45a-45c are set by the system's digital control analyzer 15 which monitors controller inputs 25 and outputs 30 as well as any required auxiliary signals 35 to determine the analog controller 20 operating conditions and optimize the control gains 40 in response to those operating conditions.
- the DA/PID can be used in the Semi-Active Helmholtz Resonator ("SHR").
- SHR is an acoustic noise control device whose effective noise control frequency is set by changing its acoustic resonant frequency to match the frequency of the acoustic noise to be controlled.
- the DA/PID controller monitors the frequency of its input signal, e, and sets the PID controller gains to optimal values based on a stored table of PID gain values vs. input signal frequency.
- FIG 4 represents a single Helmholtz resonator 118 of the current invention.
- the Helmholtz resonator has a cavity 120 of a known volume coupled to a neck region 121 for acoustically coupling the resonator to the duct having the sounds to be cancelled.
- Incorporated in the semi-active Helmholtz resonator 118 is an actuator 122. This actuator is further coupled to a controller 123 and a microphone 124 disposed within the cavity 120.
- the HR consists of a rigid-wall acoustic cavity 120, or "cavity" with at least one short and narrow orifice, or "neck” 121 through which the fluid filling it communicates with the external medium as shown in Figure 5.
- the SVR consists of a Helmholtz resonator with one surface of the cavity replaced by a moving surface as shown in Figure 1.
- the system can be represented by linear time invariant state equations of the form
- the states are Q.,, the volumetric flow rate from the neck (m 3 /s) and V, the sum of the volumes introduced through the neck and the inner surface of the cavity(m 3 ).
- the inputs are P.,, the pressure at the neck inlet to the cavity (N/m 2 ), and Q 2 , the volumetric flow rate from the movable surface in the cavity (m 3 /s).
- the outputs are Q 1 and P 2 , the pressure in the cavity (N/m 2 ).
- the other parameters are R a , the acoustic loss that represents viscous and radiation losses (Ns/m 5 ), l a , the acoustic inertia of the mass of air in the resonator neck (Ns 2 /m 5 ), and C a , the acoustic compliance of the cushion of air in the resonator cavity (m 5 /N).
- K P and A. are the proportional and integral gains respectively.
- the closed-loop transfer function for Q/P can be computed by substituting (3) into (1) and (2) and simplifying which gives
- the limit on K P , (7) translates into a maximum amount of damping that can be removed from the system.
- the limit on K ⁇ (8) translates into a limit on the direction the resonance frequency can be moved from the nominal value. In this case a negative K I increases the value of the resonance frequency, and (8) indicates that the resonance frequency can not be decreased from the nominal value.
- the design space defined by the range of stable gains can be examined using pole placement analysis.
- a closed form solution can be found to compute the gains K P and K j that make the system respond with a desired resonance frequency and damping.
- the desired denominator of the transfer function can be represented by
- G(s) des ⁇ red [(s 2 + 2 ⁇ n s + ⁇ n 2 ) ⁇ s + P) ⁇ ( 9 )
- the values of the damping ratio, ⁇ and the natural frequency, ⁇ n can be chosen.
- the pole P can not be set, but becomes an output of the calculation.
- Setting (9) equal to the denominator of (4) and matching coefficients in s, the values of K P ,
- a gain scheduled control algorithm can be constructed from the above formulations.
- the amplitude of the resonance can be controlled by setting the value of ⁇ .
- the strategy used here is to place the complex poles at a constant distance from the imaginary axis for all values of ⁇ c . This can be accomplished by applying the constraint
- k is a scalar that defines the distance of the complex poles from the imaginary axis assuming that ⁇ is small.
- the control is described below with the resonator neck open to atmospheric pressure instead of connect to a primary acoustic system.
- the normal operation is with a primary acoustic system producing P 1 at the resonator neck and this input becomes the disturbance to the system. From the control viewpoint the system can be disturbed by either input, P 1 or Q 2 .
- the motivation for disturbing the system through Q 2 is that this approach eliminates the dynamics associated with the primary acoustic system and focuses the analysis on the dynamics of the SVR alone.
- the closed-loop transfer function relating the system output P 2 to the input D is computed from (1 ) and (2) and given by (14). Note the denominator of (14) which characterized the system dynamics is identical to the previous implementation (4) where the disturbance was through P This confirms that the previous stability and gain scheduling analysis applies both when the disturbance is through P 1 or Q 2 .
- the proceeding gain scheduled controller can be applied to the plant model and the time response was simulated for various inputs.
- a block diagram of the system is shown in Figure 6. Note that the frequency of P 2 must be determined in real time. This can be done by various methods, including computing the peak in the Fourier transform, using a frequency counter, or using an adaptive frequency estimation algorithm.
- the previous description assumes an ideal actuator, i.e., the actuator velocity, and Q 2 is proportional to the voltage input to the actuator. This is a reasonable assumption for analysis of the fundamental response of the SHR since the analysis can be applied in general and actuator dynamics can be accounted for afterwards. However, the gain scheduling control strategy must account for actuator dynamics.
- an empirical controller design can be used. This technique is based on the qualitative information derived from the model: K l effects the resonant frequency, and K P effects the damping.
- K j fixing the resonant frequency
- K P effects the damping.
- the mapping between the controller gains and the system dynamic response can be determined experimentally by fixing K j (fixing the resonant frequency) and searching for a K P that produces the desired damping. This process can be repeated until the mapping is complete. Discrepancies between these results and the closed-form solution can be attributed to errors in the model acoustic parameters, or significant actuator dynamics.
- each SHR is an actuator, which is responsive to the controller and capable of producing acoustic excitations. Any actuator meeting this description will function with the current system.
- One actuator known to work with the current system utilizes a standard piezoelectric element.
- a velocity compensated dual voice coil speaker is used as the actuator for the movable surface of the SHR. This actuator compensates the velocity for internal dynamics and pressure interactions on the face of the actuator.
- the result is an actuator with nearly constant magnitude and phase between command signal and actuator output within a limited frequency range of 20 to 400 Hz.
- the actuator model inputs are the command voltage to the actuator and the pressure on the face of the actuator, and the output is Q 2 .
- the actuator is a significant improvement over uncompensated speakers, however finite magnitude and phase variations remain, affecting the closed-loop SVR performance, even within the frequency range of 20 to 400 Hz.
- the actuator model can be added to the SVR model by feeding the desired Q 2 into the input to the actuator and P 2 , the pressure output from the SHR cavity to the input of the actuator, and the actuator output to the SHR.
- Figure 5 represents the Semi-active Helmholtz Resonator of the current invention coupled at its neck 121 to the acoustic duct 125.
- the acoustic duct 125 having a noise source 126 at one end producing a first incident pressure wave 127.
- a second pressure 128 from the SVR results in a third reflected pressure wave 129 .
- the third reflected pressure wave 129 acts to cancel the first pressure wave 127 at union of the SHR with the acoustic duct 125.
- the final product at the duct end is a fourth pressure wave 130, having a significantly reduced amplitude from that of the first wave 127.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic representation of the closed-loop semi-active resonator control system with an adaptive gain scheduler.
- the semi-active resonator consists of a passive resonator 132 tuned to resonate at a nominal frequency.
- the pressure in the resonator compliant element is measured by a microphone 124.
- the controller 134 ensures that the relative magnitude and phase of the input velocity to force creates a dynamic impedance that when combined with nominal impedance of the passive resonator, creates an overall impedance that can be tuned in real-time.
- the PID controller 136 or any equivalent controller tunes the device's overall dynamic impedance. This tuning changes the devices resonant frequency to increase the resonant vibration mode amplitude enhancing the acoustic noise reduction effect.
- the semi-active resonator control algorithms consist of two components each with different time scales: one fast 138 and one slow 161.
- the PID controller 136 component takes the signal 138 from the microphone 124 and generates an output 142 that is the sum of a proportional, integral and/or derivative signal, gains K P , K and K D respectively. This output 142 is then fed to the actuator 122 that inputs a velocity to the resonator compliant element.
- the PID controller 136 gains are not held fixed as in traditional PID controllers.
- the gains are tuned in real time by a slow time scale control analyzer tuning component 140. It is envisioned that the PID controller is implemented as a tunable analog controller. This allows for a simple means to have the gains tuned in real time. As is known, data acquisition and delays caused by purely digital computer hardware allows only the control of vibrational and acoustic frequencies in the order of less than 1000 cycles per second.
- FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the Hybrid analog/digital proportional- integral controller 150 of the current invention. It includes a digital control analyzer logic circuit 152 that receives the voltage signal from the microphone 124 within the SHR 118. The digital logic circuit 152 estimates the disturbance frequency, determines the required actuation frequency, and adjusts the digital potentiometers (154, 156, 158) located within the analog PID controller 136. The K P , K I t and K D K p , K j , and K d gains for the PID controller 136 are changed via a digital serial communications by the digital logic circuit 152. The combination of the digital logic circuit 152 with the analog PID controller 136 allows continuous time transfer function between the PID input and output, and digitally controlled controller gains.
- the analog portion 136 of the controller allows the system to function at frequencies that are far above the capabilities of state of the art digital signal processors, without introducing sampling delays into the system.
- the controller is an analog device with no sampling delay introduced.
- the primary benefit of this system is that it allows for adaptive control of high frequency vibrations without introducing sampling delay, and the cost of the components is dramatically less than high speed digital signal processors.
- the slow time scale tuning component of the control algorithm is used to change the gains K P , K ! t and K D ; see Figure 4.
- the signal is used to compute the dominant frequency 141 of the disturbance force. This can be implemented by various means, i.e., compute the frequency of the peak response of a Fourier transform of the signal: a frequency counter using zero crossings, adaptive frequency estimation, etc. These techniques can be used because it is assumed that the disturbance force frequency changes slowly over time. Therefore, any technique that estimates the frequency faster than the disturbance changes in frequency can be used.
- the frequency estimation algorithm 139 generates a signal 140 that is a scalar value representing a circular frequency or the disturbance force. This signal is then used to set the gains K p , Konul and K d .
- the gains K p , K administrat K d are chosen such that the overall dynamic impedance of the device 132 minimizes the acoustic transmission.
- an analytical solution can be found which maps the gains to resonant frequency and damping ratio while ensuring stability.
- an empirical gain scheduling technique can be used instead, which finds a set of gains for each disturbance frequency that optimizes the amplitude and therefore the acoustic noise reduction. This can be implemented as a look-up table in a gain scheduling controller which takes the disturbance frequency estimate and output gains K p , K din and /or K d , implemented on the fast time scale component.
- Figure 9 is a schematic representation of a closed-loop semi-active vibration resonator coupled to an vibrating body and accompanying control system. The dynamics of vibrating body and accompanying passive vibration damper are described by the model equations:
- E which is the force component from the actuator, is generated as a function of the measured deflection of the compliant attachment with stiffness k 2 . This measurement is available from the indicated sensor.
- the actuator would react against it's own mass, m 3 to produce the necessary force required to vary the effective mass of the passive resonator. In this way, the tuned frequency of the passive resonator could be controlled over the required range of frequency deviations, ⁇ about the passive resonator tuned frequency, ⁇ .
- a passive absorber with accompanying sensor and actuator would be coupled to the body having the vibrations to be dampened.
- the controller can be of any suitable type having it's gains modified based on the above equations so that the necessary force required to vary the effective mass of the passive resonator is produced.
- Figure 10 is a representation of a piezo-electric actuator coupled to a compliant vibrating beam.
- the system above does not require any attachment points except the attachment to the primary system. It's sensor is incorporated into the compliant attachment.
- a variation of this device is the piezo-electric patch actuator/sensor device below.
- the beam functions as both compliant attachment to the primary system and passive absorber mass.
- the piezo patches function as both actuators and sensors.
- the passive vibration absorber generates absorber forces through flexural resonance of the beam.
- the DA/PID can be used in the chemical process industry.
- the chemical process industry includes many thermal and/or reaction processes where PID controllers are employed to control the rate of those processes. In many cases, optimal PID control gains change with the operating conditions of the process.
- the DA/PID controller can be employed to monitor process conditions such as external temperature and humidity along with the control input, e, and set the PID controller gains to optimal values based on a stored tables of PID gain values.
- the DA/PID can be used in mechanical servo controls.
- Servo controlled mechanisms PID controllers are common.
- One example is factory production machinery. Fixed gain PID servo controls compromise between servo performance because their gains are set to allow acceptable servo performance over a wide range of operating conditions while avoiding gains which might lead to objectionable performance under specific conditions.
- optimal PID control gains change with the operating conditions of the process. Without the ability to adapt those gains, controllers are adjusted to conservative values at the sacrifice of efficiency.
- the DA/PID controller can be employed to monitor process conditions such as external temperature and humidity along with the control input, e, and set the PID controller gains to optimal values based on a stored tables of PID gain values.
