Engineering Proportional plus derivative controller

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the accuracy of a proportional plus derivative controller analysis. The original poster presents their findings, indicating a proportional band of 20% and a gain of 5, leading to a peak change of 10 units at 30 seconds. They seek validation for their graph and calculations, which differ from other sources. Participants request clarification on the mathematical approach used in the analysis. The conversation highlights the need for further resources on proportional-plus-derivative control to assist the original poster.

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.

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.
 
@spoto2 @berkeman

Sorry I've looked at a few different sources but my graph still looks correct to me, any advice?
 
Not one of my areas of expertise, unfortunately. Jim is no longer with us (RIP), but @rude man still is at PF... :smile:
 
Hi Jason, Just wondered what your maths is behind this?

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