Command Offset
: The Command Offset is used to apply a voltage offset to the Command Signal
of the program. The voltage offset can be in the range of -10VDC to +10VDC in 0.1VDC
increments, although the resulting signal cannot extend beyond the maximum input range of
-10VDC to +10VDC. The resulting signal multiplied the Command Gain, determines the Open
Loop or Feed-Forward signal for the program.
Command Gain
: The Command Gain is used to apply a voltage gain to the Command Signal after
the Command Offset Voltage is applied. The voltage gain can be in the range of 0.0625 attenuation
to x2 gain in 0.0625 increments, although the resulting signal cannot extend beyond the maximum
input range of -10VDC to +10VDC. The resulting signal determines the Open Loop or Feed-
Forward signal for the program.
KP
: KP provides the proportional gain setting to PI control loop of the program. KP is configured as
a percentage, with 0% to no proportional gain and 100% equivalent to maximum proportional gain.
KI
: KI provides the integral gain setting to PI control loop of the program. KI is configured as a
percentage, with 0% to no integral gain and 100% equivalent to maximum integral gain.
Open Loop:
The program is in Open Loop only when the Mode Selection (200) is in the Static
Mode and the digital input is low.
Closed Loop:
The program is in Closed Loop when the Mode Selection (200) is in the Static
Mode with the digital input high or in the Dynamic Mode.
Program Overview
: The Advanced Control with Feed-Forward Program in Closed Loop is a PI
control with an adjustable Feed-Forward signal. Comparing the command to the feedback values
produces an error value. The error is multiplied by the KP and KI constants to produce the YP and
YI contributions of the PI controller. This signal is then summed with the feed-forward signal to
produce the output signal.
The Advanced Control with Feed-Forward Program in Open Loop simply modifies a command
with an offset and gain producing a output signal. The PI control is not used.
If using EPC software version prior to 1.10, this program is not available.
