Position Control | Siemens PCS 7 instruction

Introduction

2.3.3Position Control

The control loop shows integrating behaviour if the position of mechanical parts is controlled and the speed of the actuator is available as manipulated variable. An "equilibrium condition" without move in the position only exists for a speed equal to zero. The valve actuator is a common example for position control in process plants. However, the valve position controllers are mostly integrated in the corre- sponding actuators and hence not an issue for the DCS.

2.3.4Example of Multivariable Control with Integral Part Transfer Function

The level of most chemical reactors has to be kept in certain limits during continu- ous operation. Therefore the drain flow (rotational speed of pump or set point of subordinated flow controller) is available as manipulated variable and results in an integral part transfer function as described in section 2.3.1. A multivariable control problem including integral part transfer functions results if an additional quality con- trol exists at the same reactor, e.g. with the reactor pressure as manipulated vari- able (set point for the slave pressure controller). The residence time of the fluid in the reactor as well as the progress and the result of the reaction (the product qual- ity) are dependant on the drain flow, which is the manipulated variable of the level controller.
