Ever since PID (Proportional, Integral & Derivative) control was used, people tried to figure out 3 PID control constants. Currently there are more than 100 different tuning methods available but there are no universal tuning methods that can handle variety of linear and non-linear control systems. Now we have !
Our proprietary algorithm not only can explicitly solve 3 PID control constants but also can handle nagging dead time (lag time). This revolutionary algorithm has auto-tuning capability replacing current tuning methods which is labor intensive and time consuming. Our algorithm can achieve the target value at the fastest time possible without any instability or overshoot due to our proprietary technology. Any desired time varying target value can be achieved with minimal error.
Our algorithm also has multi-variable PID control built-in that goes beyond current single variable PID controllers. Our algorithm is strictly driven by sensor data for linear systems, but also can work with user supplied system models for the non-linear systems as well. Our product is truly autonomous requiring minimal user inputs. Our product can be loaded onto Siemens or Rockwell PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to interface with the existing control systems.
We've selected temperature controller as our algorithm verification hardware since temperature controller utilizes all 3 PID control constants. We've validated our algorithm with 1, 2 & 4 variable PID controller hardware. The worst case validation error with time varying target value was less than 1%. The non-linear system control is validated with multiple simulation models, from robotics to self driving car and aircraft.
Our Universal Control Algorithm (UCA) is 2 to 10 times faster than that of traditional controllers due to its proprietary technology. Since UCA can substantially improve controller speed, the overall manufacturing processing will improve proportionally. Implementation of UCA will give you a leg up on your competitors in addition to time and cost savings. Since UCA algorithm can work on any linear or non-linear systems, it is applicable to any control systems.
Any application where PID controllers are being used, UCA can perform better, faster and cheaper with numerous additional state-of-art capabilities. The additional capabilities include handling of system time lag, unconditional stability, any desired time varying profile of target sensor, multi-variable disturbances, switching of control variable and target sensor due to sensor failures are possible during operation reducing redundancy in design. Notification of error build-up during operation will forewarn potential controller failure in advance.
