3 Process Dynamics Objective: To generate step test data and describe the dynamic process response with a first order plus dead time (FOPDT) model. Also, to learn about the nonlinear nature of processes. 1) Click LOOP-PRO s Case Studies icon on the main screen and select Gravity Drained Tanks. 2) Make sure the CO is at 70% and that the PV (liquid level) is steady. Perform a step test by clicking the controller output (CO) box on the tanks graphic and entering 80%. When the liquid level (PV) reaches a new steady value, click the Pause icon (II) on the tool bar. The strip charts now show dynamic process data from a step test (a kind of bump test). 3) Click the Plot icon on the tool bar to view a fixed plot of your step (bump) test dynamic data. 4) Use a graphical analysis to fit a first order plus dead time (FOPDT) model to the CO to PV step test dynamic behavior. The worksheet at the end of this workshop may be useful. Record the first order plus dead time (FOPDT) model parameters with units (e.g. m/% or minutes) Process gain, Kp = 0.13 m/% Time constant, p = 2.2 min Dead time, p = 0.5 min 5) Repeat tasks 2-4 above for a bump test where the CO is stepped from 50% up to 60%. Be sure the PV is moved from one steady state to another. Fit a FOPDT model to the plot data. Process gain, Kp = 0.09 m / % Time constant, p = 1.8 min Dead time, p = 0.3 min 6) The two steps in the CO (70 80% and 50 60%) are the same size. Are the FOPDT model parameters the same for these two steps? How/why are they different? The two sets of FOPDT model parameters are different. All three parameters are larger at the higher operating level. (it is not necessary that the parameters grow or shrink together as operating level changes. It is just as likely on a process for one model parameter to get larger while another gets smaller.) The important observation is that the dynamic process behavior can change as operating level changes. Since FOPDT model parameters are used in the design and tuning of a controller, the first step in our controller design recipe is to determine the Design Level of Operation. That is, where we expect the set point to be and the major disturbances to be during normal operation. 3

8 7) Set the CO to 20% and let the measured PV steady out (as an aside, note that the PV enters a low alarm condition). Step the CO from 20% up to 40%, then up to 60%, then 80%. Let the PV (liquid level) steady between each step. View a plot of the entire test. Is the gravity drained tanks a linear or nonlinear process? Explain your conclusion. different PV responses as operating level changes Identical CO s The Gravity Drained Tanks is clearly nonlinear because the dynamic process response changes as operating level changes. This was evident from the work sheet results of Task 4 and 5. 8

15 Integrating Process Lab Objective: To understand the dynamic character of integrating processes and to explore the tuning issues associated with their control 1) The Pumped Tank process follows a non-self regulating (integrating) dynamic behavior. That is, the process does not steady out to a constant liquid level after the controller output or disturbance variables are changed when the controller is in manual mode. To explore the behavior and control of this process, start the Pumped Tank simulation by selecting it from the Case Studies list on Control Station s main screen. Study the graphic and observe that unlike the gravity drained tanks simulation, where the outlet flow rate adjusts according to changes in the liquid level, the flow rate out of the pumped tank is set by the throttling valve at the discharge of a constant pressure pump. If the feed and disturbance streams total a different flow rate into the tank than the fixed value leaving the tank, the liquid level will continue to fall or rise until the tank empties or overfills. To verify this, change the disturbance flow rate from 2.5 L/min up to 3.5 L/min and observe the results. Change it once more to 1.5 L/min and again observe the liquid level behavior. 2) Restart the process using the program default values (select this from the Run menu on the Pumped Tank screen), which are set to be a tank liquid level of 4 m and a disturbance flow rate of 2.5 L/min. We will now collect dynamic process data for controller tuning. Begin saving data to a file and step the controller output from 70% down to 65%. Wait for the liquid level to rise above 5 m and then step the controller output up to 75%. When the tank level has fallen past 3.5 m, stop saving data and pause the simulation. Notice that when you return the controller to its original output of 70%, the process does not return to its initial steady state, at which the tank liquid level was 4 m; instead, the level steadies at a new value. 3) Your data should now have a segment where the process variable (liquid level) is rising steadily and another where it is falling steadily. We want to compute the slope of each individual segment. Click the Plot button on the Pumped Tank screen to view a fixed plot of the data; use Plot Options to adjust the plot so you can see both step changes and the process variable response. The equation to compute a slope is: end start slope = dy t y y dt tend tstart where y start and t start are the start points and y end and t end are the end points of each slope segment. 15
16 First focus on the upward sloping segment and compute the slope: y 1 start = y 1 end = t 1 start = t 1 end = 1 end 1 start slope 1 = dy t y y dt t t 1 end 1 start controller output 1, CO 1 = Repeat the calculation for the downward sloping segment: y 2 start = y 2 end = t 2 start = t 2 end = 2 end 2 start slope 2 = dy t y y dt t t 2 end 2 start controller output 2, CO 2 = 4) Use this expression to calculate the integrator gain, Kp * : slope slope * 2 1 K P CO2 CO1 Remember, integrator gain is a ratio of the process gain to the process time constant; therefore, the units for this process are m/(% min). 5) Estimate the process dead time, θp, from the plot using the same graphical method discussed in Chapter 3.

17 Input Aliasing I Lab This exercise is to demonstrate the effects of sampling intervals on the reconstruction of a signal. 1. Open the Signal Aliasing worksheet on the Desktop in the Process Control Folder 2. Try different waveform frequencies and sample intervals. 3. Did the suggested sample interval always reconstruct your waveform? No 4. Try doubling the suggested sample interval (1/10 th of the waveform period). Did you get good results? Yes, not perfect 5. Try quadrupling the suggested sample interval (1/5 th of the waveform period). Do you still get good results? No 17
18 Determining the Correct Sampling Interval While it s nice to know there is guidance on how to set the sample interval for a waveform based on its frequency, how does one know what the frequency of a process variable is? When it comes to instrumentation, it s not the frequency that s important, it s the time constant. Figure 3-6 is a graph of the response of an instrument with a 5 second time constant (25 second rise time). The signal from the instrument was sampled at 1 second intervals. Figure 3-6 One rule of thumb would be to set the sample interval for an instrument at 1/10 th to 1/20 th of the rise time (1/2 to 1/4 th of the time constant). Another rule of thumb would be to set the sample interval to 1/10 th to 1/20 th of the process time constant. Temperature instrumentation (RTDs and thermocouples in thermowells) typically have time constants of several seconds or more. For these processes sampling intervals of 1 second are usually sufficient. Pressure and flow instrumentation typically have time constants of ½ to 1 second. For these processes sampling intervals of 0.1 second are usually sufficient. 18
19 Input Aliasing II Lab This exercise is to demonstrate the relation of sampling intervals to instrument time constants. 1. Open the Aliasing & Time Constants worksheet located My Documents\Process Control. 2. Try different instrument time constants and sample intervals. 3. Did the sample interval of ½ to ¼ of the instrument time constant always give you good results? No. 19
20 Noise Filtering Lab This exercise is to demonstrate the effects of filtering on a process variable. 1. Open the Filter worksheet located My Documents\Process Control. 2. This filter is specified by its value. You may see the effects of the filter on a step response by entering a value of 0 for the signal frequency. You may see the effects of the filter on a waveform by entering a value 3. Enter a signal frequency of 0.02 (approximate response of an RTD) and a noise amplitude of 10%. 4. Enter a filter value of 0. Has any noise been filtered out of the signal? No 5. Enter a filter value of 1. Has any signal passed through the filter? No 6. Change the filter value until you are satisfied with the filtering effect you have achieved. Record your value for. 7. Enter a signal frequency of 0 to display your filters step response. What is the time constant of your filter? 8. What is the cut-off frequency of your filter? Cut - Off Frequency 1 5 Time Constants 9.

Change the filter value until you are satisfied with the filtering effect you have achieved. Record your value for. 11. Enter a signal frequency of 0 to display your filters step response.
