5.7.2 Use Of Filtering In Override Control On Loops With
Significantly Different Dynamic Characteristics
For loops with significantly different dynamic characteristics, the loop
with the fastest" reset (largest number of repeats per minute) should be
used to determine the filter time constant. Aside from this, these loops
should make use of track value filtering as previously described. The filter
time constant is tuned to a value equal to the reciprocal of the reset
action used in the fastest" upstream controller.
For example, consider two loops acting in an override control system,
where the loops are tuned as follows:
Loop 1
Gain = 0.4
Reset = 30.0 repeats / minute
Rate = 0.0
Loop 2
Gain = 0.5
Reset = 4.0 repeats / minute
Rate = 0.0
The user must filter the tracking value with a first order filter having a time
constant of 1/30.0, or 0.033 minutes. The DCPs FST must be configured
to provide the filtering action.
5.7.3 Use Of Filtering For Override Control On Slow Loops
If override control is used on a process which exhibits very slow dynamic
response, the filtering action can affect the controller output tracking
when the loops are in Manual mode. The affect can be prevented by
disabling the track value filter.
Typically, the filter should be reset to the output of the signal selector
loop whenever the signal selector is in the Manual mode. This will force
the output values of the upstream controllers to track the value of the
signal selector loop whenever the operator is manually adjusting the
valve position.
For slow loops with significantly different dynamic characteristics, the
loop with the fastest" reset (largest number of repeats per minute)
should still be used to determine the filter time constant. Aside from this,
these loops should make use of track value filtering as previously
described. The filter time constant is tuned to a value equal to the
reciprocal of the reset action used in the fastest" upstream controller.
