Signal processing circuits and methods, embodying the invention, will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a block diagram of a control circuit embodying the invention;
Figure 2 is a graph of the state signal U6 as a function of time, responding to a slow increase
AU in the command signal U;
Figure 3 is a diagram of a state signal Ue as a function of time responding to a rapid increase AU of the command signal U;
Figure 4 is a circuit diagram of the block diagram of Figure 1; and
Figure 5 is a block diagram of processing circuit having two possible response functions.
The control circuit shown in Figure 1 comprises a comparator 1 receiving, on the one hand, a reference of command signal Uc, and on the other hand, a state signal U,, the comparator supplied at its output 1 a an error signal E having an amplitude equal to UcUe. The error signal E is processed by the circuit 2 which provides at its output 2a a command signal Us. The command signal is applied to the command input 3a of a member or device 3 to be controlled which delivers in its turn to an output 3b the state signal Ue representing a parameter indicative of the state of the member 3.
The processing circuit 2 is a linear circuit or network and includes an inverting amplifier 4 having a constant gain, an integrator 5, and an inverting summing circuit 6. The amplifier and integrator 4 and 5 receive at their input the signal
E whilst the circuit 6 adds the output signals from the circuits 4 and 5 together, inverts the sum and feeds the resulting output signal to a conductor 6a connected to the command terminal 3a, of the
member 3.
Such a control circuit, having a linear characteristic by using an integrator with a
proportional gain, may, in certain situations, give rise to substantial differences between the values of the state signal (U6) and the command signal (Uc). In a case where the value U6 must not be allowed to exceed a permissible maximum value USM, a transfer function circuit is connected
between the terminal 1 a and the conductor 6a to
avoid the value Ue, exceeding the maximum
permissible value U6M. This additional circuit has a
non-linear characteristic, and will not modify the transfer function of the control circuit except
under certain conditions.
The transfer function circuit of Figure 1 has three independent circuit parts; a first circuit part
A, which when it is connected, confers to the
circuit 2 an overall transfer circuit function of the
differential type adding to the proportion gain of the circuit 4; a second circuit part B, which, when
it is connected, confers on the circuit 2 an overall
transfer function of proportional type, and a third
circuit part C, which when it is connected, adds to the transfer function of the circuit 2 a term of
integral type.
The first circuit part is connected when the following conditions exist;
dE < 0; E < w; dt
dE C < U.-P dt where w and C are positive constants, and P is a positive constant equal to the maximum value U SM which can take the absolute value of Us.
The second circuit part is connected when the following conditions exist:
dE E < O; < Q dt
The third circuit part C is connected under the following condition:
E < O
The first circuit part A comprises a terminal providing a negative potential --V connected through a conductor 200 and a switch 8, to the summation point 5a of the integrator 5. The switch 8 is controlled by the output signal of a
comparator circuit 9 which compares the value U8-P with a value C C
dt supplied by a differentiating circuit 10 connected to receive the signal E.The value U8-P is supplied by a summing circuit 11 having one input connected to the conductor 6a and the other input is connected to a terminal providing a constant negative potential -P. Between the differentiating circuit 10 and the comparator 9 is the series combination of a switch 12 and a diode 13. The switch 12 is controlled by the output signal of a comparator 14 which compares the signal E with a constant negative potential w. The cathode of the diode 13 is connected to the output of the differentiating circuit 10.
The second circuit part B comprises a differentiating circuit 1 5 connected to receive the signal E. The output 1 5a of the differentiating circuit 1 5 is connected to the summation point 5a of the integrator through the series combination of a diode 16, an amplifier having constant gain 1 7, and a switch 18. The cathode of the diode 16 is connected to the output of the circuit 1 5, the switch 18 is controlled by the output signal from a comparator 20 which compares the signal E with zero value which is provided by an earth potential terminal 21.
The third circuit part C comprises a constant gain amplifier 22 having an input 22a connected to receive the signal E. The output of the amplifier 22 is connected to the summing point 5a of the integrator 5 through a switch 23 which is controlled by the output signal of the comparator 20.
The operation of the control circuit of Figure 1 will now be described whilst also referring to
Figure 2 and 3. These Figures 2 and 3 show the variation of U6 as a function to time starting at the instant to where the signal Uc commences to grow from the value UO up to an upper value Ul.
Figure 2 shows the case where the passage U6 from UO to U, is relatively show and Figure 3 shows the other case, where this passage is fast.
The curve (C) of U6 as a function of time comprises three sections. The section Cl during which the conditions E > 0 and
d - < O.
dt exist; the section C2 during which the conditions
E < O and dE
< 0 dt exist; and the section C3 during which the conditions E < 0 and
dE > 0 dt exist.
During the period of section C, of the curve (C), the comparator 20 applies to the command terminal of the switches 18 and 23 an opening signal, such that the parts B and C are disconnected. The comparator 14 applies an opening signal to the command terminal of the switch 12 when E > w in order to disconnect the circuit part A.
As soon as E < w that is to say starting from a point A on the curve (C), the comparator 14 applies a closure signal to the switch 12. When the switch 12 is thereupon closed the signal
dE
dt is supplied by the differentiating circuit 10 to the diode. Because this circuit signal is negative, the diode 1 3 is rendered conductive. The comparator 9 responds to the output of the diode 1 3 and the circuit 11 to apply to the command terminal switch 8 a closure signal when the condition
dE C < US-P; dt obtains.
Thus, each time the latter condition is satisfied, a negative signal --V of amplitude at least equal to that of the maximum value of the absolute value () is applied at the point 5a. This signal discharges the capacitor Sb of the integrating circuit 5; the capacitor Sb having been previously charged by the signal E. The effect of any integral gain of the integrator 5 is thus suppressed and the value Us is diminished to equal
dE
P+C
dt
The function of overall transfer of the circuit 2, except the circuit 4, is likewise of the differential type.
When one is working on the part C2 of the curve (C), the action of the part A continues so long as the.condition
dE
C < U5-P dt is satisfied. It will be noted that in Figure 2, the slope P1 of the curve C, at the point A is too small, (since P1 U5-P) for the circuit part A to be connected in contrast, in Figure 3, the slope P2 of the curve C, at the point A is sufficiently great (since P2 > U5-P) for the circuit part A to be connected in order to anticipate the correction of the curve (C) to avoid Ue exceeding the value UeM.
Figures 2 and 3 show in broken lines the curve sections (C'2, C'3), (C"2, C'3) which the curve (C) would have followed had the parts A, B and C not been brought into play.
Over the section C2 the comparator 20 applies to the switches 18 and 23 a closure signal thus
connecting the parts B and C. The signal
dE
C'
dt supplied by the differentiating circuit 15 to the diode U is negative, and so the diode 1 6 is rendered conductive. This signal is then amplified by the amplifier 17, and applied to the point 5a, through the closed switch 1 8. The integrator (5) thereupon integrates this amplified signal
dE
K
dt and feeds the result K'E to the conductor 6a.K' has a negative sign and so acts to reduce the value of Us. The circuit part B actually confers on the control circuit 2 an overall transfer function of the proportional type, provided however that over the said section C2, the coefficient K is selected to be sufficiently large for the signal K' to remain iarge in relation to the signal K,SE dt; assuming treatment by the circuit 5 and 6 of the signal received directly by the circuit 5.
Over the section C2 of the curve (C) the condition dE
> 0, dt exists and so the diodes 13 and 1 6 are blocked,
to disconnect the circuit parts A and B.
The circuit part C remains connected when working over the sections C2 and C3 of the curve
C. The amplifier 22 in practice applies a signal K2E to the point 5a, through the closed switch 23, which after processing by the integrator 5, becomes a signal K3JE dt at the conductor 6a. K2 is selected to be sufficiently small so that amplitude of the signal (E dt remains small in relation to that of the signal K' because of the action of the circuit part B over the major section
C2. The signal K3 dt due to the circuit part C is thus reduced to the value of Us.
Thus the different non-linear networks or circuit parts A, B, C, connect and disconnect themselves from the circuit 2 as a function of the value of Us, E and
dE
dt
The non-linear networks or circuit parts when they are connected, always cause a reduction in the command signal Us, without causing a discontinuity in Us and dU5 dt
These circuit parts A, B, C, disconnect themselves without causing a variation in Us and so leave the switch 5 of the circuit 2 with an initial condition favourable to respond to a variation AU in the signal Uc, without exceeding the maximum value USM forte.
