Cascade Control System Design

-output signal of the master contoller serves as setpoint for slave controller.
-2 feedback control loops are nested with secondary control loop lcoated inside primary Step 1-Control System Design Objective
control loop State the plant production, economic and control objectives
- improves response to set-point change Identify Process constraints that must be satisfied.
Advantages:

a) useful in overcoming high freq noise and disturbance Step 2- Top-down Analysis
b) reduces impact of time delay
Identify the process variables, DOF, control structure and
option for decomposition
Establish the overall control structure

Step 3- Bottom-up design

Develop a strategy for regulatory control
Examine the potential of applying advanced control strategies
Evaluate the economic benefits of real-time optimization

Step 4- Validation of control structure

Perform a final DOF. Check the allocation of NFC DOF.
Check control of individual process units
Check the effect of constraints and disturbance on MV and
CV
Simulate control system performance

Ratio Control
A DCS is a platform for automated control and
operation of a plant
Also known as 'Control Brain'
How DCS is used
Widely deployed at large manufacturing plants
With DCS, other manufacturers can efficiently
coordinate adjustments in a top-down fashion using a
centralized network of computer
Instruction from DCS is displayed throughout a plant
and fed to the individual controller
DCS can improve safety and enhance production
efficiency
