Homework Statement
FIGURE 6 shows a proportional plus derivative controller that has a proportional band of 20% and a derivative action time of 0.1 minutes. Construct the shape of the output waveform for the triangular input waveform shown, if the input rises and falls at the rate of 4 units per minute.
Relevant Equations
None required
Hello,

There is a thread related to this question however it was marked correct but doesn't look correct to me?

https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/step-change-in-a-proportional-plus-integral-controller.961180/

I think I have it but it is quite different to other answers I have seen?
I have found
PB=20% hence gain=5
dAT = 0.1min = 6s
Would rise and peak at 2units at 30s however due to gain this will be 10units, hence change due to derivative would be:
10/30 * 6s = 2units, then once peaked at 30s it would reduce by the same derivative and create the following graph:

Find out information about proportional-plus-derivative control. Control in which the control signal is a linear combination of the error signal and its derivative.
Can you post some links to such information that would be helpful for the Original Poster (OP)? Thanks.
 
Hi Jason, Just wondered what your maths is behind this?

The maths is in the first post, which part are you unsure of?
