Discretization Step and PID Settings for Voltage Controlled Discrete Servo

Abstract

A method for selection of discretization step and discrete PID controller settings is presented for a model of servo with voltage controlled motor, described by an integrator with time constant. The method assumes a triple pole location of the closed-loop system to provide smooth control transients. Settling time is a design data. Influence of filtering degree in controller derivative component on reduction of discretization step is examined. Extended design problem with the filtering degree being an additional requirement is also considered.
