Controller performance analysis


1. Objective

Part 1 aims to investigate the performance criteria of a level controller.

2. Content

Controller performance characteristics.

3. Theoretical bases

Performance criteria

Performance characteristics for the step response of an under-damped process.

𝒕𝒕𝒓𝒓 is the time the process output takes to first reach the new steady-state
value.

𝒕𝒕𝒑𝒑 is the time required for the output to reach its first maximum value.

Settling Time is defined as the time required for the process output to reach
and remain inside a band whose width is equal to ±5% of the total change in y.
The term 95% response time is sometimes used to refer to this case. Also,
values of ±1% are sometimes used.

Overshoot: OS = A/B.

Decay Ratio: DR = C/A.

Period of Oscillation (period T): P is the time between two successive peaks
or two successive valleys of the response.
