INTRODUCTION

The S7-1200 controller provides the flexibility and power to control a wide variety of
devices in support of your automation needs. The compact design, flexible configuration, and
powerful instruction set combine to make S7-1200 a perfect solution for controlling a wide
variety of applications.

The CPU combines a microprocessor, an integrated power supply, input and output
circuits, built-in PROFINET, high-speed motion control I/O, and on-board analog inputs in a
compact housing to create a powerful controller. After you download your program, the CPU
contains the logic required to monitor and control the devices in your application. The CPU
monitors the inputs and changes the outputs according to the logic of your user program, which
can include Boolean logic, counting, timing, complex math operations, and communications with
other intelligent devices.

To communicate with a programming device, the CPU provides a built-in PROFINET


port. With the PROFINET network, the CPU can communicate with HMI panels or another
CPU. To provide security for your application, every S7-1200 CPU provides password
protection that allows you to configure access to the CPU functions.
PLC controller used to this project is S7-1200 1214C AC/DC/RLY with version 3.0
and MLFB number is 6ES7 214-1BE31-OXBO.

DETAILS:

 Digital inputs in the controller is14 and Voltage is 24


 Digital output in the controller is 10 and Voltage is 24
 Back plane is available to connect extra I/O modulus and communication modules
 Analog input in the controller is two
 Input power supply to the controller is 120/240 VAC
 Three communication modules and eight I/O expansion modules can be used
 Modbus communication board, analog output board and analog input board can be used

PLC LANGUAGES

The function of all programming languages is to allow the user to communicate with the
programmable controller (PC) via a programming device. They all convey to the system, by
means of instructions, a basic control plan. Ladder diagrams, function blocks, and the sequential
function chart are the most common types of languages encountered in programmable controller
system design. Ladder diagrams form the basic PC languages, while function blocks and the
sequential function charting are categorized as high-level languages.
The basic programmable controller languages consist of a set of instructions that will
perform the most common type of control functions like relay replacement, timing, counting,
sequencing, and logic. High level languages are used for analog control, data manipulation,
reporting, and other functions that are not possible with the basic instruction sets.

The language used in a PC dictates the range of applications in which the controller can
be applied. Depending on the size and capabilities of the controller, one or more languages may
be used. Here are some typical combinations of the languages;

1. Ladder diagram (LAD).


2. Function blocks diagram (FBD).
Ladder Language

LAD is a graphical programming language. The representation is based on circuit


diagrams. To create the logic for complex operations, you can insert branches to create the logic
for parallel circuits. Parallel branches are opened downwards or are connected directly to the
power rail. You terminate the branches upwards. LAD also provides "box" instructions for a
variety of functions, such as math, timer, counter, and move.

Function blocks diagram

In FBD programming, you can drag the "Negate binary input" tool from the "Favorites"
toolbar or instruction tree and then drop it on an input or output to create a logic inverter on that
box connector. You can also right-click on the box input connector and select "Insert input". Box
inputs and output can be connected to another logic box, or you can enter a bit address or bit
symbol name for an unconnected input. When the box instruction is executed, the current input
states are applied to the binary box logic and, if true, the box output will be true.

STEP 7 Basic PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

STEP 7 Basic provides a user-friendly environment to develop controller logic,


configure HMI visualization, and setup network communication. To help increase your
productivity, STEP 7 Basic provides two different views of the project: a task-oriented set of
portals that are organized on the functionality of the tools (Portal view), or a project-oriented
view of the elements within the project (Project view). Choose which view helps you work most
efficiently. The Portal view provides a functional view of the project tasks and organizes the
tools according to the tasks to be accomplished. You can easily determine how to proceed and
which
task to choose.
1) Portals for the different tasks.
2) Tasks for the selected portal.
3) Selection panel for the selected Action.
4) Changes to the Project view.
The Project view provides access to all of the components within a project.

1) Menus and toolbar.


2) Project navigator.
3) Work area.
4) Task cards.
5) Inspector window.
6) Changes to the Portal view.
7) Editor bar.

With all of these components in one place, you have easy access to every aspect of your
project. For example, the inspector window shows the properties and information for the object
that you have selected in the work area. As you select different objects, the inspector window
displays the properties that you can configure. The inspector window includes tabs that allow
you to see diagnostic information and other messages.
By showing all of the editors that are open, the editor bar helps you work more quickly
and efficiently. To toggle between the open editors, simply click the different editor. You can
also arrange two editors to appear together, arranged either vertically or horizontally. This
feature allows you to drag and drop between editors.

To help you to find more information or to resolve issues quickly and efficiently, STEP 7
Basic provides intelligent point-of-need assistance. For example, some of the tool tips in the
interface (such as for the instructions) "cascade" to provide additional information. A black
triangle alongside the tool tip signifies that more information is available.

STEP 7 Basic provides a comprehensive online information and help system that
describes all of the SIMATIC TIA products that you have installed. The information system
opens in a window that does not obscure the work areas. Click the "Show/hide contents" button
on the information system to display the contents and undock the help window. You can then
resize the help window.

CPU OPERATING MODES

The CPU has three modes of operation: STOP mode, STARTUP mode, and RUN mode.
Status LEDs on the front of the CPU indicate the current mode of operation.

 In STOP mode, the CPU is not executing the program, and you can download a project.
 In STARTUP mode, the CPU executes any startup logic (if present). Interrupt events
are not processed during the startup mode.
 In RUN mode, the scan cycle is executed repeatedly. Interrupt events can occur and
be processed at any point within the program cycle phase.

Note
You cannot download a project while the CPU is in RUN mode. You can download your
project only when the CPU is in STOP mode.

The CPU supports the warm restart method for entering the RUN mode. Warm restart
does not include a memory reset, but a memory reset can be commanded from the programming
software. A memory reset clears all work memory, clears retentive and non-retentive memory
areas, and copies load memory to work memory. A memory reset does not clear the diagnostics
buffer or the permanently saved IP address. All non-retentive system and user data are initialized
at warm restart.

You can specify the power-up mode of the CPU complete with restart method using the
programming software. This configuration item appears under the Device Configuration for the
CPU under Startup. When power is applied, the CPU performs a sequence of power-up
diagnostic checks and system initialization. The CPU then enters the appropriate power-up
mode. Certain detected errors will prevent the CPU from entering the RUN mode. The CPU
supports the following power-up modes: STOP mode, "Go to RUN mode after warm restart",
and "Go to previous mode after warm restart".
The CPU does not provide a physical switch for changing the operating mode. Use the
CPU operator panel in the online tools of STEP 7 Basic to change the operating mode (STOP or
RUN). You can also include a STP instruction in your program to change the CPU to STOP
mode. This allows you to stop the execution of your program based on the program logic.

CPU MEMORY AREAS

The CPU provides the following memory areas to store the user program, data, and
configuration:

 Load memory is non-volatile storage for the user program, data and configuration. When
a project is downloaded to the CPU, it is first stored in the Load memory area. This area
is located either in a memory card (if present) or in the CPU. This nonvolatile memory
area is maintained through a power loss. The memory card supports a larger storage
space than that built-in to the CPU.
 Work memory is volatile storage for some elements of the user project while executing
the user program. The CPU copies some elements of the project from load memory into
work memory. This volatile area is lost when power is removed, and is restored by the
CPU when power is restored.
 Retentive memory is non-volatile storage for a limited quantity of work memory values.
The retentive memory area is used to store the values of selected user memory locations
during power loss. When a power down occurs, the CPU has enough holdup time to
retain the values of a limited number of specified locations. These retentive values are
then restored upon power up.
An optional SIMATIC memory card provides an alternative memory for storing your
user program or a means for transferring your program. If you use the memory card, the CPU
runs the program from the memory card and not from the memory in the CPU.

The CPU supports only a preformatted SIMATIC memory card. To insert a memory
card, open the top CPU door and insert the memory card in the slot. A push-push type connector
allows for easy insertion and removal. The memory card is keyed for proper installation. Check
that the memory card is not write-protected. Slide the protection switch away from the "Lock"
position.

Use the optional SIMATIC memory card either as a program card or as a transfer card:

 Use the transfer card to copy your project to multiple CPUs without using STEP Basic.
The transfer card copies a stored project from the card to the memory of the CPU. You
must remove the transfer card after copying the program to the CPU.
 The program card takes the place of CPU memory; all of your CPU functions are
controlled by the program card. Inserting the program card erases all of the internal load
memory of the CPU (including the user program and any forced I/O). The CPU then
executes the user program from the program card. The program card must remain in the
CPU. If you remove the program card, the CPU goes to STOP mode.

USER PROGRAM BLOCKS

The CPU supports the following types of code blocks that allow you to create an efficient
structure for your user program:

 An organization block (OB) is a code block that typically contains the main program
logic. The OB responds to a specific event in the CPU and can interrupt the execution of
the user program. The default for the cyclic execution of the user program (OB 1)
provides the base structure for your user program and is the only code block required for
a user program. The other OBs perform specific functions, such as for startup tasks, for
handling interrupts and errors, or for executing specific program code at specific time
intervals.
 A function block (FB) is a subroutine that is executed when called from another code
block (OB, FB, or FC). The calling block passes parameters to the FB and also identifies
a specific data block (DB) that stores the data for the specific call or instance of that FB.
Changing the instance DB allows a generic FB to control the operation of a set of
devices. For example, one FB can control several pumps or valves, with different
instance DBs containing the specific operational parameters for each pump or valve. The
instance DB maintains the values of the FB between different or consecutive calls of that
FB, such as to support asynchronous communication.
 A function (FC) is a subroutine that is executed when called from another code block
(OB, FB, or FC). The FC does not have an associated instance DB. The calling block
passes parameters to the FC. The output values from the FC must be written to a memory
address or to a global DB if other components of your user program need to use these
values. The size of the user program, data, and configuration is limited by the available
load memory and the work memory in the CPU. There is no limit to the number of blocks
supported; the only limit is due to memory size

EQUIPMENT NO: 3 SYNCHRO
TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER PAIR
A synchro is an electromagnetic transducer commonly used to convert an angular
position of a shaft into an electric signal.

The basic synchro is usually called a synchro transmitter. Its construction is similar to
that of a three phase alternator. The stator (stationary member) is of laminated silicon steel and
is slotted to accommodate a balanced three phase winding which is usually of concentric coil
type (Three identical coils are placed n the stator with their axis 120 degree apart) and is Y
connected. The rotor is a dumb bell construction and wound with a concentric coil. An AC
voltage is applied to the rotor winding through slip rings. Ref. Fig. No.1A.

Let an AC voltage Vr (t) = Vr sin Wct … (1) be supplied to the rotor of the synchro
transmitter. Thisvoltage causes a flow of magnetizing current in the rotor coil which produces a
sinusoidally time varying flux directed along its axis and distributed nearly sinusoidal, in the air
gap along stator periphery. Because of transformer action, voltages are induced in each of the
stator coils. As the air gap flux is sinusoidally distributed, the flux linking any stator coil is
proportional to the cosine of the angle between rotor and stator coil axis and so is the voltage
induced in each stator coil.

The stator coil voltages are of course in time phase with each other. Thus we see that the
synchro transmitter (TX) acts like single phase transformer in which rotor coil is the primary and
the stator coils form three secondaries.

Let Vs1 N, Vs2 N and Vs3 respectively be the voltages induced in the stator coils S1, S2
and S3 with respect to the neutral. Then for the rotor position of the synchro transistor shown in
fig.No.1 where the rotor axis makes an angle 0 with the axis of the stator coil S2.
Let Vs1N = KVr sin Wct cos (0+120) (2)
Vs2N = KVr sin Wct cos (0) (3)
Vs3N = KVr sin Wct cos (0+240) (4)

The three terminal voltages of the stator areVs1s2 = Vs1N – Vs2N


= 3 KVr sin (0=240) sin Wct (5)
Vs2S3 = Vs2N – Vs3N
= 3 KVr sin (0+120) sin Wct (6)
= 3 KVr sin (0) sin Wct (7)
When 0 is zero from equation (2) and (3) it is seen that maximum voltage is induced in the stator
coil s2 while it follows from equation (7) that the terminal voltage Vs3s1 is zero. This position
of rotor is defined as the electrical zero of the Tx and is used as a reference for specifying the
angular position of the rotor.

Thus it is seen that the input to the synchro transmitter is the angular position of its rotor
shaft and the output is a set of three single phase voltages given by equation (5), (6) and (7). The
magnitudes of these voltage are functions of a shaft position.

The classical synchro systems consists of two units.


1. Synchro transmitter (Tx)
2. Synchro rceiver (Tr)

The synchro receiver is having almost the same constructional features. The two units
are connected as shown in figure No.2. Initially the winding S2 of te stator of transmitter is
positioned for maximum coupling with rotor winding. Suppose its voltage is V. The coupling
between S1 and S2 of the stator and primary (Rotor) winding is a cosine function. Therefore the
effective voltages in these winding are proportional to cos 60 degrees or they are V/2 each. So
long as the rotors of the transmitters and receivers remain in this position, no current will flow
between windings because of voltage balance.
When the rotor of Tx is moved to a new position, the voltage balance is disturbed.
Assume that the rotor of Tx is moved through 30 degrees, the stator winding voltages will be
changed to zero, 0.866V and 0.866V respectively. Thus there is a voltage imbalance between
the windings causes currents to 1 flow through the close circuit producing torque that tends to
rotate the rotor of the receiver to a new position where the voltage balance is again restored.

This balance is restored only if the receiver turns through the same angle as the transmitter and
also the direction of the rotation is the same as that of Tx.
The Tx Tr pair thus serves to transmit information regarding angular position at one point
to a remote point.

System Description and Operation


The system set up is made up of synchro transmitter and synchro receiver on a single
rigid base provided with suitable swithes and anodized angular plates. The system also contains
a step down transformer for providing excitation to the rotors. Suitable test points for rotor (R1
and R2) and stator (S1, S2 and S3) for both Tx and Tr are provided.
Experiment No.1 :
AIM: Study of synchro transmitter
In this part of the experiment we can see how, because of the transformer action, the
angular position of the rotor of synchro transmitter is transformed into a unique set of stator
voltages.

Procedure:
1. connect the mains supply to the system with the help of cable provided. Do not
connected any patch cords to terminals marked “S1, S2 and S3”
2. Switch on mains supply for the unit.
3. Starting from zero position, note down the voltage between stator winding terminals i.e
Vs1s2, Vs2s3 and Vs3s1 in a sequential manner. Enter readings in a tabular form and
plot a graph of angular position of rotor voltages for all three phases.
4. Note that zero position of the stator rotor coinsides with Vs2s1 voltage equal to zero
voltage. Do not disturb this condition.
Experiment No.2 :
AIM: Study of synchro transmitter and receiver pair.
Procedure
1. Connect mains supply cable.
2. Connect S1, S2 and S3 terminals of transmitter to S1, S2 and S3 of synchro receiver by
patch cords provided respectively.
3. Switch on SW1 and SW2 and also switch on the mains supply.
4. Move the pointer i.e rotor position of synchrono transmitter Tx in steps of 30 degrees
and observe the new rotor position. Observe that whenever Tx rotor is rotated, the Tr
rotor follows it for both the directions of rotations and their positions are in good
agreement.
5. Enter the input angular position and output angular position in the tabular form and plot
a graph.

Precautions
1. Handle the pointers for both the rotors in a gentle manner
2. Do not attempt to pull out the pointers
3. Do not short rotor or stator terminals

OBJECTIVE:
To study the performance characteristics of an analog P, PI and PID controller
under open loop and closed loop systems.

EXPERIMENTAL UNIT:
This is a very well designed and compact unit for class room experiments on the study
of proportional-integral-derivative controllers. It comprises of a flexible process, a PID
controller, signal sources, a DVM and a stabilized power source for all the sub-systems. The
various sections along with their specifications are described below.

Process or plant
In a practical situation the process or plant is that part of the system which
produces the desired response under the influence of command signal. Usual proc esses
are higher order, nonlinear functions having inherent dead time or pure time delay. In
process control studies such plants are commonly modeled by transfer functions of the
form
1
Gp(S) = θs
Ke
s 1
Where,  is the time delay in sec  is the effective time constant and K is the
controller gain.
In the present system, the process is an analogue simulation through a few basic
building blocks which may be connected suitably to form a variety of processes or
plants. These blocks are,
a) Integrator - having an approximate transfer function of 1/s
b) Simple pole - two identical units, each having a transfer function of 1 /(1+0.0155s)
c) Pure time delay - a time delay of about 5.64 msec. generated by a high order
multiple pole approximation of the delay function.
Note that all the above blocks, except pure time delay, have 180° phase shift between input and
output.

Controller:
The controller for the process is an analog Proportional-Integral-Derivative
(PID) circuit in which the PID parameters are adjustable. The values may be set within
the following range through 10 turn calibrated potentiometers:
Proportional Gain, Kc : 2 to 20
Proportional Band : 5% to 50%
Integral Time Constant, Ti : 10 - 100 msec.
Derivative Time Constant, Td : 2 - 20 msec.
It may be mentioned that although in an industrial PID Controller it is common
to adjust the above parameters directly, but in the educational environment convenience
and simplicity is more important. In the present unit, therefore, it is the proportional,
integral and derivative gains viz. Kc, Ki and Kd, which are made variable through 10
turn potentiometers calibrated from 0 to 1.
The PID block has a phase angle of 0° between its input and output.

Error Detector:
The error detector is a unity gain inverting adder which adds the command signal
with the feedback signal. To ensure negative feedback it would therefore be necessary
to have (2n+1) phase shift in the forward path, for n = 0, 1, 2...

Uncommitted Amplifier:
It is a unity gain inverting amplifier. This amplifier may be inserted in the loop,
if required, to ensure a proper phase angle.

Signal Sources:
The signal source comprises of a low frequency square and triangular wave
generator having adjustable amplitude and frequency. The square wave is used as
command input to the system, while the triangular wave is used for external x-deflection
in the CRO. This arrangement gives a perfectly steady display even up to very low
frequencies and is convenient for CRO measurements.

BACKGROUND SUMMARY
Introduction:
The performance of a physical system is not always good enough for a given
application. In such a situation the characteristics of the system needs to be modified.
This is referred to as ‘Compensation Design’. Standard procedure available for
compensation includes time and frequency domain designs of a variety of compensation
networks. Such design methods have been successfully used in many practical dynamic
control systems. The performance of the system is evaluated in terms of a set of
performance specifications e.g. rise time, peak time, settling time, peak percent overshoot
and steady state error in the time domain, and gain margin phase margin, closed loop
bandwidth etc in the frequency domain.
Fig 1: Block diagram of the Overall system
Another approach towards improving the performance of systems has been
through elementary control actions - called control terms - inserted in the forward path of
an existing control system. The block diagram of Fig.1 shows the location of such a
controller in a unity feedback system. The controller work comprise of two or three of
the following control terms:
(a) Proportional, P
(b) Integral, I
(c) Derivative, D
The resulting controller may then turn out to be a P, PI or PID controller.
The two, and three-term controllers indicated above have been used more
commonly by process industries e.g. petroleum, chemical, power, food etc., for the
control of temperature, pressure, flow and similar variables. A common feature of these
systems is their sluggish response which calls for accurate and slow integration and
sensitive differentiation. Although near ideal electronic differentiator and integrator
circuits are difficult to achieve except with high impedance operational amplifiers and
good quality component, PI and PD controller valves have existed in the pneumatic and
hydraulic environments for a long time.
In the present unit attempt has been made to expose the students to the study and
design of PID controllers using simulated systems. The speed of response has been
deliberately scaled up to have a fast and easy viewing on CRO.

Structure of PID Controller:


The equation of a PID controller is given by.
de(t)
m (t) = Kc e(t) + Ki e(t)dt  Kd 2
 dt
Where,
e(t) = error signal
m(t) = P1D output or plant input
Kc = Proportional gain
Ki = Integral gain
Kd = Derivative gain
1n the Laplace domain, the above equation is written as

Fig.2. Block Diagram of PID Controller

Ki
M(s) = Kc E(s) + E(s) + sKd E(s)
s
The above equation is represented as a block diagram of PID controller as shown in Fig.
2. An alternative representation of the above equation which is more commonly used in
process control literature is as follows:

 1 
M(s) = Kc 1 Td sE(s) 3
 Ti s 
Where,

Ti = K c
Integral time constant
Ki

Td = K d
Derivative time constant
Kc
It is easy to develop the structure of PD, and PI controllers from above, by
substituting Ki = 0 and Kd = 0 respectively. A special terminology used in process
control literature is given below to facilitate better understanding.

In the present unit, the three gains are adjustable in the following range with the
help of calibrated 10-turn potentiometers.
Kc : 0 to 20
Ki : 0 to 1000
Kd : 0 to 0.01

Characteristics:
From Eq. (2), the transfer function of the PID controller may be written as

M (s) K s s 2 K c s K i 4
GPID (s)  
s
E(s)
Ks (s  1)(s  2)

Where 1 and 2 are the two zeros of the PID controller transfer function.

Fig. 3 Bode diagram of PID controller


The above transfer function has a pole at the origin and two real zeros for Kc2 >
4KdKi Notice that a properly designed PID controller should not, in general, have a pair
of complex conjugate zeros which may result in reduced damping. Bode diagram of the
PID controller is shown in Fig. 3. It may be seen that the controller gain increase without
limits as the frequency is decreased. This is due to the integral term, and it results in a
reduction of steady state error. However, the negative phase angle introduced by the
controller at low frequencies has a destabilizing effect as well. The corner frequency 1,
should therefore be so located that large negative phase angle occurs at sufficiently low
frequencies only, where the plant already has a good stability margin.
Again, the Bode diagram of the controller (Fig. 3) shows an increased gain at high
frequencies accompanied by a positive phase angle. The positive phase angle has a
stabilizing effect while the large gain at high frequencies makes the system respond more
to fast or sudden changes. The overall system then becomes relatively more stable, as it
is capable of taking `anticipatory' action in the presence of signals having fast variations.
Design:
The PID Controller can be designed both in the frequency domain and in the s-
plane, through the classical or trial-and-error design procedure. The method needs the
pole-zero locations or frequency-phase responses of the plant, for its implementation. A
large number of process control systems are however characterized by,
Incomplete or inaccurate plant equation
Extremely slow response
Presence of time delays
High order transfer function
Limited possibility of experimentation for identification of the plant and need for fine
trimming the compensator at site
In such a situation alternative simpler techniques of setting the controller parameters (KC,
Ti Td), or tuning, are of great practical value. Presented below are three techniques of
tuning a PID controller aimed at obtaining a satisfactory step response of the overall
system.

Trial-and-error tuning
This is a simple and systematic method for on-line tuning of a PID controller. The
method assumes that the three parameters Kc, Ki and Kd are available for adjustment.
Following are the steps for its implementation.
1.
Disconnect or reduce derivative and integral block signals by setting Ki and Kd
to zero.
2.
Starting from a low value increase Kc, gradually till Sustained oscillation sets
in. This condition is tested by small disturbances generated by varying the reference
signal a little. The value of- proportional gain so obtained is called ultimate gain, Kcu.
3.
Set Kc to 1/2 of the value obtained in step 2.
4.
Increase K, gradually until sustained oscillations start again. Set Ki to 1/3 of
this value.
5.
Increase Kd gradually until sustained oscillations start again. Set Td to 1/3 of
this value.
The above method, though very simple in operation, has the following limitations:
(i)A number of systems which are, or may be approximated to, first or second order
transfer functions without time delay do not oscillate. Step 3 is then not possible and the
method fails.
(ii) Open loop unstable systems cannot be handled by this method.
(iii) Tuning of very slow systems by this method is extremely time consuming.
(iv) Sustained oscillations may not be acceptable or may be risky in some physical
processes such as a large chemical process.

(b) Continuous Cycling Method


In this method, given by Ziegler and Nichols, the first step is to determine
experimentally the value of ultimate gain, Kcu as suggested in the previous method. The
time period of the resulting sustained oscillations is referred to as ultimate period P u
Based on the values of Kcu and Pu the controller settings are obtained from Table I below
which is essentially empirical in nature.

Controller Kc Ti Td

P 0.5 Kcu - -

PI 0.45 Kcu 0.833 Pu -

PID 0.6 Kcu 0.5 Pu 0.125 Pu

Table 1: Empirical values for tuning the controller


Some variation in the coefficient settings have also been suggested by various
workers. In case the above values should be taken as the `initial settings' and should
invariably be followed by fine-tuning via trial-and-error. Most of the limitations of the
first method are still present in this method; however the continuous cycling method is
less time consuming.

Fig 4 Step response of (a) Type – 0 (b) Type – 1 system


c) Process Reaction Curve Method
This is a second on-line tuning method proposed by Ziegler and Nichols and is very
attractive because it is based on a simple experimentation. The plant is modeled as a first
order function with time delay. The open loop step response of the plant, called reaction
curve of the process, is experimentally obtained.
Typical step responses for Type-0, and higher type number systems are shown in Fig.
4(a) and 4(b) respectively. The step responses are characterized by two parameters.
(i) Slope S of the tangent drawn at the point of inflection
(ii) Time T at which the tangent intersects the X-axis.
The values of S and T are obtained graphically as shown in Fig. 4. If the input step change
was M then the PID parameters are given by the Table 2 below.

Controller Kc Ti Td
P M/ST - -
PI 0.9 M/ST 3.33 T -
PID 1.2 M/ST 2T 0.5 T
Table 2: Tuning Parameters using Process Reaction Curve.
Once again, the above values are empirical in nature and therefore fine tuning of
the parameters may be needed in specific cases. The values of Ki and K d may be
calculated from Eq. (2) for implementation on the present unit.
Although the process reaction curve method based on a single experimentation is
fast and simple, it does have some limitation as given below:
(i) The step response obtained in the open-loop may not be satisfactory in case the
system is highly nonlinear or open loop unstable.
(ii) Accuracy is limited due to the graphical procedure involved.
In conclusion it may be said that any method used to calculate the parameters
must be followed by a fine tuning on the operational process.

Distance rule:
The distance rule is a device for attaching switches at the cylinder. The labels at the
distance rule define links to the actual proximity switches or limit switches in the
electrical circuit.
Configurable cylinders:
The configurable cylinder can be customized via its properties dialog. Almost any
combination of piston type (single-acting, double-acting), the specification of the piston
rods (double ended, with magnetic coupling or slide) and the number (none, one, two) is
possible. An end position cushioning (without, with, adjustable) can also be defined.
FluidSIM automatically adjusts the symbol according to the preset configuration.
In addition, a load to be moved (including possible static and sliding friction) and a
variable force profile can be defined in the properties dialog. In the component library
from FluidSIM there are several pre-configured cylinders that can be inserted in your
circuit and directly used. Should no suitable symbol be available, then simply choose the
component with the most similarity to the required component, open the properties
dialog and adjust the configuration accordingly.

AIM: DRAW THE CHARACTERISTIC FOR A


PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
. To teach the student how to draw the characteristic for a
Pressure relief valve
PROCEDURE:
. Drawing the hydraulic circuit diagram
. Practical assembly of the circuit
. Setting a maximum pressure of 50bar
. Establishing the opening pressure of the pressure relief valve
. Determining the various measured values and entering them into the table
. Drawing the pressure/flow rate characteristic
. Drawing conclusions

Exercise:
Owing to a change in the production process, a package lifting device is now required
to lift heavier packages than those for which it was originally designed. It has been observed
that the stroke speed is now lower. Using the pressure/flow rate characteristic for the pressure
relief valve, determine the pressure at which flow diversion of the pump output begins.

CONCLUSION:
Every pressure relief valve has a certain opening pressure at which point diversion of the
flow through the valve begins. The difference between opening pressure and maximum pressure

Determine the times pressure and forces during the advance and
return strokes of a single-acting cylinder.
Aim:
To determine the times pressure and forces during the advance and return strokes
of a single-acting cylinder.
Procedure:
.Drawing the hydraulic circuit diagram
. Determining the necessary components
. Practical assembly of the circuit
. Measuring the travel pressure and travel time for the advance and
return strokes
. Calculating the required advance-stroke pressure
. Calculating the advance-stroke speed and time
Exercise:
For this exercise, the cylinder is bolted onto the base plate on the left of the profile plate
and loaded with the weight. When the cylinder is connected up, it is essential that the upper
connection is connected to the tank. Once the circuit has been assembled, the PRV 0V2 should
first be fully opened. The hydraulic power pack should then be switched on and the PRV 0V2
slowly closed. The piston rod will then travel to its upper end position. Continue to close the
PRV until the pressure gauge 0Z2 indicates 50bar. Now switch off the hydraulic power pack. It
can be demonstrated by briefly opening the shut-off valve that the non-return valve prevents the
weight from lowering further and that return flow of hydraulic fluid during the return stroke can
take place only via the 2/2- way valve 1V.The piston rod can retract only when the pump is
switched off. This is arranged intentionally in systems like the one shown here. This ensures that
the hydraulic power pack is switched off during lengthy standstill periods.

CONCLUSION:
The back pressure is considerably lower than the hydraulic resistance. A cylinder motion
can take place only if this case applies. The value of the
back pressure depends on the hydraulic resistances. These are very low when fluid is
discharged into the tank.

Determine the times, pressures and forces during the advance and
return strokes of a double acting cylinder.

Aim:
To determine the times, pressures and forces during the advance and
return strokes of a double acting cylinder
PROCEDURE:
 Drawing the hydraulic circuit diagram
 Determining the necessary components
 Practical assembly of circuit
 Measuring the travel and back pressures and transfer time for
the advance and return strokes
 Calculation of advance and return-stroke speeds
 Comparison of calculated and measured values

EXERCISE:
Once the circuit has been assembled and checked, the hydraulic power pack
should be switched on and the system pressure set on the pressure relief valve 0V to 50 bar.
Pressure sensors should be used to measure the travel and back pressures. Pressure gauges are
sluggish in operation and would give incorrect readings. When the hand lever of the 4/2-way
valve is actuated, the piston rod of the cylinder will advance until the lever is released or the
piston rod runs against the stop. When the lever is released, the piston rod will immediately
return to its retracted end position. Before the pressures and times are measured, the piston rod
should be advanced and retracted several times to expel any air which may have entered the
piston-rod chamber during the previous exercises.

06 Use hydraulic accumulator as a
Aim: power source
To use the accumulator to power advance and strokes of the cylinder after the
pump is switched off.
Procedure:
.. Drawing the hydraulic circuit diagram
. Determining the necessary components
. Practical assembly of the circuit
. Determining the number of working cycles possible after the pump is switched off.
. Drawing conclusions
. Explaining the design and mode of operation of a diaphragm accumulator
. Naming possible applications of an accumulator
Exercise :
A heavy cold-store door is opened and closed by a hydraulic cylinder. A
hydraulic accumulator is to be installed to allow the door to be closed in the case of an
electrical power failure. This will permit the cold-store door

to be opened and closed a number of times. A 4/2-way valve is to be used to activate the
cylinder. This valve should be connected up in such a way that the piston rod is
advanced with the valve in its normal position.
No provision will be made here for the safety cut-out which is essential
to prevent persons from becoming trapped in the door. This cut-out function is normally
provided by an electrical control device for the hydraulic system.
Be sure to follow the operating instructions for the accumulator. After
switching off the control system, do not dismantle the hydraulic components until you
have relieved the pressure in the accumulator and isolated this from the control system
by means of the built-in shut-off valve.

Accumulators are used for the followings:


. Compensation for leakage losses
. Energy reserve in emergencies
. Compensation for peaks in flow rate demand
. Cushioning of switching jolts

Conclusion:
Without the accumulator fitted, the door will remain in its instantaneous position after
a power failure and it will no longer be possible to move it. This diaphragm accumulator
allows the door to be opened 2 x and closed 1 x with a system pressure of 20 bar and opened 4
x and closed 3 x with a system pressure of 50 bar. The higher the hydraulic pressure with
which the accumulator is charged, the more times the door can be opened and closed.

Determine the cylinder advance-stroke time with and


without a load.
Aim:

Measure the cylinder advance stroke time with and without load
Exercise:
A double-acting cylinder is used to open and close a bulkhead door Closing must
be carried out smoothly and at a constant adjustable speed. The speed is adjusted by
means of a one-way flow control valve. A pressure relief valve must be fitted to provide
counter-holding and prevent the heavy door from pulling the piston rod out of the
cylinder during the closing operation.
Measure the following:
t ® = Cylinder advance-stroke time p1Z1 =
Cylinder travel pressure
p1Z2 = Cylinder back pressure p0Z2 =
System pressure
The applied load now be varied. Initial settings should be such as to achieve an
advance-stroke time of 5 s with a system pressure of 50 bar but without an applied load
or counter holding. 10 bar back pressure should subsequently be set.
When dismantling the circuit, ensure that no pressurized fluid is trapped
(p1Z2 = 0 bar).

CONCLUSIONS:

The travel time becomes shorter as the load increases. The piston
is pulled out by the load. Without counter-holding, the movement is
uncontrolled and jerky. A constant advance-stroke speed is obtained only
with counter-holding. The generation of a counter pressure clamps the
piston hydraulically. The travel and back pressures remain constant,
which means that the travel speed also remains constant.

A circuit with counter-holding is advisable both with and without


a load. It is also possible to adjust the counter-holding to suit the load.
