What does Kc do?. What is Kc?. Kc is the Controller Gain of a control system. It can be adjusted to obtain a variety of system responses. Feedback Control. E(t): Input to the Controller. E(t)=R(t)-C(t). E(t) = Error of system R(t) = Set Point C(t) = Output of System (Controlled Variable).

What is Kc? • Kc is the Controller Gain of a control system. • It can be adjusted to obtain a variety of system responses.
E(t): Input to the Controller E(t)=R(t)-C(t) • E(t) = Error of system • R(t) = Set Point • C(t) = Output of System (Controlled Variable)
Relationship • E(t) is directly related to Kc because Kc adjusts the system’s input to reduce E(t). • In a proportional controller by the equation • The controlled output will always have an offset from the set point after a change of set point. • The offset is the difference between the output and the setpoint
Offset • E(s) = R(s)-C(s) • By Block diagram algebra: By FVT for R(s) = 1/s (step response) E(s) is never zero unless Kc is infinity. There is always offset.

Effects of Kc Kc = 24 %/cm H20 Decay Ratio=1/500
Effects of Kc Kc = 48 %/cm H20 Decay Ratio=1/10
Effects of Kc Kc = 67 %/cm H20 Decay Ratio=1/4
As Kc Increases • The Decay Ratio increases • The frequency increases • The offset decreases • The settling time increases
What does Kc Do? • Kc effects the Decay Ratio, Frequency, Settling time, Offset. • As the Kc of a system increases so does the oscillation amplitude and frequency of the system output. • There is an optimum value of Kc that minimizes offset while minimizing oscillation.
