<p>A process control system (100) controls a non-self regulating process through a control output signal (u(t)) based on a set point YSET and a measured process variable (y(t)). The process control system includes a control circuit (102, 104, 106, 108) having a set point input, a process variable input and a control output. The control circuit generates the control output signal (u(t)) on the control output as a function of the set point YSET received on the set point input and the measured process variable (y(t)) received on the process variable input. An auto-tuning circuit (106) excites the process, estimates a process model based on an intersection between rising and falling asymptotes of the measured process variable (y(t)), and then tunes the control function to the process (110) based on the process model. The auto-tuning circuit obtains robust results, but is computationally simple such that the circuit can be implemented with hardware or software in low-power and low-memory applications, such as in field-mounted controllers.</p> |
