3 Basics on Control Engineering

Basics on Control Engineering

Overview
Control engineering is an engineering science researching how to influence
specific given parameters in technological systems, with the aim of reaching and
maintaining the desired value of this parameter under certain conditions.
This chapter contains a very short extract on the topic of Control technology.
The system manual of STEP 7 Professional V12.0 discusses PID control with
basics on control technology in chapter 11.3 (\4\).
Controlled system
A controlled system contains the parameter to be controlled, such as the
temperature of a room. In order to identify the type of a system and then
dynamically controlling it in an optimal way requires a precise analysis of the
system to be controlled.
One possibility of identification is to look at the step response of a controlled
system. The picture below depicts the example of a PTn system (temperature in a
room, for example).

3 Basics on Control Engineering

Controller
The controller controls an actuator to bring the controlled system to a desirable
state. The simplest controllers are two-point controllers, which only know the states
ON and OFF and control the controlled system via the actuator.
The frequently used PID controllers consist of three parts:
The P-part creates an output signal proportional to the control deviation:
The I-part integrates the control deviation over time and affects the controlled
system due to this integration.
The D-part, on the other hand, reacts to the changed control deviation
(temporal deviation of the control deviation).
These three parts of the ideal PID controller are weighted by the coefficients
proportional gain, reset time and rate time.
With the PID_Compact and PID_3Step blocks, SIMATIC S7-1500 already offers
a possibility integrated into the firmware of the software control.
In this application, PID_Compact is used. Further information on PID_3Step is
available in the manual \3\ and in the help of the TIA Portal.

Control loop
The control deviation between setpoint and actual value is determined and a
manipulated variable derived from it. The manipulated variable acts on the
controlled system via an actuator (see Figure 3-2).

Actual
value

A simple example for a control loop is the control of the room temperature through
a heater. The room temperature is measured with a sensor and fed to a controller,
which compares the current room temperature with a setpoint value and calculates
an output value (control value) for controlling the heater.

The simulation of the controlled temperature system consists approximately of two PT1 systems.
The procedure for receiving suitable parameters for the PID controller is the following:
Inserting a PT1 system with the parameters from 2.
Inserting PID_Compact.
Configuring PID_Compact.
Commissioning PID_Compact.
The parameters received after the fine tuning are read (see Table 4-4) and used for the split-range

FB Scenario2_SplitRange (FB201)

Function
Using a call of PID_Compact, FB Scenario2_SplitRange (FB201) realizes a
split-range control which controls two actuators (heating and cooling).
For a certain output range of the software controller (0-50%), the cooling is
controlled from 100-0% of its maximal cooling power. For the output range between
50-100% at the controller, the heating is controlled to 0-100% of the maximal
heating output (see Figure 4-7).
Parameter

Action
In the project navigation you open the object Technology objects > [Your_PID_instance] >

2.

In the Basic Settings window, you select the type of the controller (e.g. Temperature). In dropdown menu Input you define whether you wish to use a floating point number or the hexadecimal
value of an analog input as actual value. The Output drop-down list furthermore offers the option
of using a PWM output as manipulated variable.
Furthermore, you define the start behavior of the controller at a CPU new start here. You can
choose between inactive, pretuning, fine tuning, manual or automatic mode.
In addition, you can invert the control direction here. This is necessary, for example, for cooling
since in this case a higher actuating signal (cooling power) reduces the actual value (temperature).

4.

The input parameters are interconnected directly at the block in the user program and cannot be
interconnected in the configuration view of the technology object.

3.

In Process value settings the limits and scaling of the actual value are set.

For loading into the CPU the engineering
station should be located in the same subnet.

Here, the application of a field PGs is described as engineering station and PC


station at the same time.
Alternatively, the application of a rack PC, for example, for visualization is
possible.

Renaming the engineering station


The following table shows the procedure for changing the PC name in Windows 7:
Table 6-3 Renaming the engineering station
Action

1.

To download WinCC Runtime into your


engineering station, the engineering station
must have the PC name used in the project
(VisuPC).

2.

Click on Start. Go the Computer context


menu and click on Properties. In the
following window you click on Change
settings below Computer name, domain and
workgroup settings.

3.

In the System properties you select


Change and then enter the new computer
name VisuPC in the respective field.

4.

Acknowledge and restart your engineering


station to adopt the computer name.

Note
Alternatively, you can also adjust the name to
your engineering station in the project.

Setting the IP address of the engineering station

Copyright

Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved

No.

When using the engineering station simultaneously as PC station for the


visualization, you need to assign the IP address given in the project to the
engineering station:
Table 6-4 Assigning the IP addresses
No.

Action

1.

Open Start > Control Panel > Network and


Sharing Center

2.

Click on Change Adapter Settings and then


select Properties in the context menu of your
Ethernet adapter.

3.

Select Internet Protocol Version 4 and


change the IP address as follows:
IP address: 192.168.0.251
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

4.

Confirm the change with OK.


Now your engineering station has the same IP
address as assigned in the
79047707_PID_CompactV2 project.

5.

Also set your PG/PC interface Start > Control


Panel > Set PG/PC Interface to TCP/IP and
the network adapter assigned by you.

NOTICE

6.2.1

In order to start up the project with PLCSIM, scenario 2 and hence block FB
Sim_TempProcess (FB58) must be removed from the project. The FB
Sim_TempProcess (FB58) block is know-how protected and can
therefore not be simulated in PLCSIM V12.
