According to this fluid pressure control method, the relationship between the valve opening of the conductance variable means 15 and the pressure of the gas upstream of the conductance variable means 15 in the fluid discharge path 13 is, for example, the seventh.
The relationship is as shown in the figure. In FIG. 7, a characteristic curve A is a characteristic curve when a conductance varying means 15 having a structure that is fully closed at a valve opening of 0 is used, and a characteristic curve B is obtained when the conductance varying means 15 has a valve opening of 0. 6 is a characteristic curve in a case where a fluid discharge passage 13 having a constant conductance without being fully closed is used.

When the valve opening degree of the valve becomes larger than a certain degree, even if the valve opening degree of the conductance variable means 15 is adjusted, the change in the conductance of the fluid discharge passage 13 becomes small, and the pressure adjustment of the gas becomes almost impossible. Conversely, when the valve opening of the conductance variable means 15 is close to 0, even if the valve opening of the conductance variable means 15 is slightly adjusted, the conductance of the fluid discharge path 13 changes very greatly, and the gas pressure changes. Becomes very large, and it is difficult to adjust the gas pressure. This is particularly noticeable in the case of characteristic curve A. Therefore, the conductance varying means 15 has a good pressure controllability range, and it is difficult to control the pressure outside this range.

Even with the fluid pressure control methods described in -78615 and JP-A-63-53107, it is difficult to perform fluid pressure control over a wide range of fluid flow rates and set pressures. The equipment used has also become complicated. In addition, the capacity of the exhaust device needs to be high enough to correspond to the maximum flow rate and the minimum set pressure of the fluid, and the conductance variable means must always have good controllability over a wide range.

In the device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 167912/1983, for example, the conductance varying means 15S has a characteristic as shown by the characteristic curve B in FIG.
In the case of having a characteristic such as the characteristic curve A in the figure, the relationship between the valve opening degree of the conductance variable means 15L, 15S and the pressure of the fluid in the fluid discharge path 13 on the upstream side of the conductance variable means 15L, 15S is the first. The characteristic curve is as shown in FIG.
For this reason, as the valve opening of the conductance variable means 15L increases, the pressure control range by adjusting the valve opening of the conductance variable means 15S decreases, and the slope of the characteristic curve in FIG. The coefficient for pressure control changes depending on the degree, and pressure control is difficult. Further, the controllable pressure range itself cannot be widened to a higher pressure side, and the two conductance variable means 15L and 15S are connected in parallel, so that
Piping becomes complicated. The above-mentioned disadvantages occur not only in the assumption of the characteristics of the conductance varying means 15L and 15S, but similarly occur.

Is adjusted so that the pressure of the gas upstream of the conductance variable means 18 becomes a substantially desired value. Thereafter, the valve opening of the conductance variable means 18 is adjusted to maintain the gas pressure upstream of the conductance variable means 18 at a substantially desired value. Thereafter, when the valve opening degree of the conductance variable means 18 is likely to deviate from the good pressure controllability range of the conductance variable means 18, the valve opening degree of the conductance variable means 19 is adjusted again, and the conductance variable means 18 is constantly adjusted. The valve opening is adjusted within the good pressure controllability range of the conductance variable means 18 to perform precise pressure control. Here, each conductance that is varied by the conductance varying means 18 and 19 of the fluid discharge path 13 is represented by C

This fluid pressure control device is for fully automatic pressure control. In the device shown in FIG. 4, a valve opening detector 21 for detecting the valve opening of the conductance variable means 18 and a pressure controller
22 and a motor 24 are provided. The conductance varying means 19 is driven by the motor 24 to change the valve opening. The pressure controller 22 determines that the valve opening degree of the conductance variable means 18 attempts to deviate from the good pressure controllability range of the conductance variable means 18 based on the valve opening detection signal from the valve opening degree detector 21 (pressure control). And the motor 24 is driven to change the valve opening degree of the conductance variable means 19 to the value obtained by shifting the valve opening degree of the conductance variable means 18 to that of the conductance variable means 18. Adjust so as to return to within the good pressure controllability range. At the time of fluid pressure control, first, the valve opening of the conductance variable means 18 is set while the function of the pressure controller 20 is stopped,
At this time, a method of limiting the valve opening degree of the conductance variable means 18 to the vicinity of the center of the good pressure controllability range of the conductance variable means 18 and a method of setting the valve opening degree of the conductance variable means 18 to the good pressure controllability range of the conductance variable means 18 There is a method of setting the whole range or a method of limiting the range to an intermediate range between the vicinity of the center of the good range of the pressure controllability of the conductance varying means 18 and the whole range. In other words, conductance variable means
There are a method of narrowing the width of the dead zone for detecting deviation of the valve opening from the vicinity of the center and a method of widening the width. Generally, if the dead zone width is increased to some extent, overshoot and hunting of the entire pressure control can be prevented and smooth pressure control can be performed. Since the upper and lower limits of the dead zone width vary depending on the gas flow rate, the pumping capacity of the pump 14, and the distribution of the conductance of each part, the upper and lower limits may be set by experimentally obtaining or calculating them in advance.

When controlling the pressure of the fluid, the operator first sets the conductance variable means in a state where the function of the pressure controller 20 is stopped.
For example, by manually setting the valve opening of the valve 18 near the center of the good pressure controllability range, and then manually adjusting the valve opening of the conductance variable means 19 while referring to the measured value of the pressure detector 16, the conductance can be varied. The initial state is determined by setting the pressure of the gas upstream of the means 18 to a substantially desired value.
At this time, the valve opening degree of the conductance variable means 19 may control the motor 24 according to the output signal of the pressure controller 20 to automatically adjust the conductance variable means 19. An output signal may be input to the pressure controller 22 to automatically adjust the conductance variable means 19, and another pressure controller may be provided to control the motor 24 according to the output signal of the pressure detector 21. By doing so, the conductance varying means 19 may be automatically adjusted. Next, the function of the pressure controller 20 is enabled to switch from the initial state of the pressure control to the steady pressure control state.This switching may be performed manually, or the organic control between the pressure controller 20 and the pressure controller 22 may be performed. It may be performed automatically by a dynamic connection.
