Definitions
- the present invention pertains to tuners for controllers, and particularly to automatic tuners for controllers. More particularly, the invention pertains to nonlinear- approximator-type of tuners.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,31 1 ,421 by Masahide Nomura et al., issued May 10, 1994, and entitled "Process Control Method and System for Performing Control of a Controlled System by Use of a Neural Network," provides background information for the present invention and is hereby inco ⁇ orated by reference in this description.
- the invention is a technique for developing a tuner which is used for tuning or optimally guiding a controller.
- the tuner has a preprocessor for transforming a set of input signals into a set of normalized parameters. These parameters are inputted to a nonlinear approximator which operates on the set of normalized parameters to result in a set of normalized tuning parameters.
- the set of normalized tuning parameters goes to a postprocessor which scales this set of parameters into controller tuning parameters which go to the controller.
- the nonlinear approximator can be based on neural networks or other parametrized nonlinear structures. In essence, determining nonlinear approximator parameters actually amounts to designing or setting-up a tuner. In turn, the tuner tunes the controller having a closed loop, with appropriate controller parameters.
- Figure 1 shows a basic controller and process relationship.
- Figure 2 shows a controller with a tuner, along with a process.
- Figure 3 shows a process with a step-function input.
- Figure 4 shows the characteristics of an open loop step response of the process in figure 3.
- Figure 5 shows a graph with a step function having a resultant overshoot and an oscillatory settling which has to be modeled as at least a second order system with delay.
- Figure 6 reveals the closed-loop step response parameters of a system.
- Figure 7 reveals a tuner with separate inputs for process characteristic parameters and closed-loop performance parameters.
- Figure 8 is a graph of fast settling performance with overshoot.
- Figure 9 is a graph of slow settling performance without overshoot.
- Figures 10a and 1 Ob show an automatic tuner for processes that can be modeled as first-order linear systems with delay.
- Figure 1 1 shows a neural network tuner used in conjunction with a parametrized neurocontroller.
- Figure 12 illustrates a prior art neural network tuner with a supervised learning algorithm feature.
- Figure 13 is a schematic of one framework of the present invention, not relying on supervised learning.
- Figure 14a shows an example of a tuner for a proportional-integral (PI) controller embodied as a neural network with one tuning knob input and outputs for proportional and integral gains.
- PI proportional-integral
- Figure 14b shows a tuner embodied as a computationally simple compositional mapping with one tuning.
- Figure 15 shows how the tuner of figure 14 can be used for a known linear first- order process.
- Figure 16 is a graph for slow or fast settling, dependent upon tuner adjustment input.
- Figure 17 is a schematic for developing the tuner of figure 15 using a nonlinear optimization algorithm.
- controller 14 looks at the current temperature on line 18 and the setpoint (thermostat) temperature (y desired) on line 13, and uses the difference between the temperatures to calculate heating input 15 to the room or process 16.
- u can be shown relative to various domains in a simple proportional-integral (PI) controller according to the following equations, where: k c is the proportional gain for the controller; k
- 1 is a discrete time index.
- Equation (1) is stated for the continuous-time domain, equation (2) for the Laplace or frequency domain, and equation (3) for the discrete-time domain.
- the proportional (k c ) and integral (kj) gains are set to values appropriate for the application of control system 14 to process 16. ⁇ t is the sampling interval.
- the algorithms, used for setting controller gains, for instance k c and k ( , are called "tuning algorithms.”
- the tuning algorithm is implemented in a tuner 21 of figure 2. The tuner puts gains k c and k, into controller 14 via line 22. To set these gains is often done by a "trial and error" approach in the related art. Current tuners in the art are not wholly satisfactory.
- Inputs to tuner 21 need to indicate two types of information.
- the first type of information is the relevant dynamics of the process (e.g., characteristics of the room, such as its heat loss, heating-up time constant, and the delay due to ductwork from the furnace to the room).
- the second type of information is desired dynamics of the closed loop (e.g., time to reach the setpoint, settling time, overshoot, tolerances of overshoot, and importance of reducing control energy).
- Figure 3 shows a step function 24 of u to input 15 of process 16 and output y from line 18.
- Figure 4 shows the characteristics of an open loop step response of process 16.
- the process is of a first order with a delay linear system which is usually sufficient for most industrial and building control processes.
- Such system has three process model parameters K p , T p and T D .
- the dead time or delay is T n — t ⁇ — t 0 . If K p , T p , T D , are changed, then the curve for y will change.
- Figure 5 shows a graph with a step function having a resultant overshoot and an oscillatory settling 25 which has to be modeled as at least a second order system with delay, relative to input 24.
- Figure 1 shows a closed-loop system 12 with a step function signal 24 to input 13.
- Figure 6 reveals the closed-loop step response parameters of system 12.
- One important objective in tuning a controller is to manipulate these and other closed-loop response parameters. For example, large overshoots are typically undesirable, but often unavoidable if fast settling times are required (the settling time is the time after the setpoint change after which the process output y is within some quantity, e.g. 95%, of the desired output or setpoint yd, with the percentage computed relative to the magnitude of the setpoint change). For fast settling, control energies will also typically be high.
- the response parameters have a complex relationship to each other and to the tuning parameters, and no formulae are available that can accurately characterize this relationship.
- Tuner inputs can be customized as desired, and the tuner can be made robust to whatever extent desired. Robustness is the graceful tolerance of uncertainty of knowledge about the system. It is also the graceful tolerance of change or drift in the system.
- Controllers are designed to take
- CMAC Cerebellar model articulation controller
- nonlinear approximator as used in this invention, can be expressed as follows:
- a conventional multilayer perceptron neural network may implement the mapping F as:
- the parameter vector pa consists of the input-to-hidden weights w , the hidden- ki
- to-output weights w.. , .and the hidden and output bias weights b. and b- . i and k are summation indices
- j is the element of the approximator output vector
- h is the number of hidden units
- n is the number of elements of the input vector I.
- a computationally simple, compositional sigmoidal nonlinear mapping may implement F as: where the parameter vector p a comprises the vectors wi and the scalars aj and vij. i is a summation index and b is the number of nonlinear elements in the structure. The period
- a radial basis function network may implement the mapping F as:
- the parameter vector pa comprises the vectors ⁇ i and the scalars ⁇ j and wjj.
- i is a summation index and N is the number of Gaussian nonlinearities in the structure.
- FIG. 7 reveals a controller system 30 which has a nonlinear-approximator- based automatic tuner 21 having separate inputs for process characteristic parameters and closed loop performance parameters. The latter can be used to adjust closed-loop performance for slow or fast settling.
- Inputs 26 and 27 permit one pre-designed tuner 21 to be used for many applications or be universal for large and various classes of applications.
- Nonlinear approximator 28 is optimized off-line but without using supervised learning methods.
- Nonlinear approximator 28 may be a neural network but is not used as a nonlinear regression model (as it is in Nomura et al. ⁇ see their Fig. 33).
- automatic tuner 21 can contain preprocessing and post-processing functions. These include scaling functions which are done outside of the neural network. Scaling is performed mainly for linearity purposes.
- Process characteristic parameters 26 notated as p p later
- closed-loop performance parameters 27 (notated as p j later) allow one pre-designed automatic tuner 21 to be used for a broad variety of applications. No on-line or application-specific training or optimization of the neural network, or modification of other components of the automatic tuner, are needed.
- a specific example is neural-network-based automatic tuner 21 for processes that can be modeled as first-order with dead time linear processes. Such processes can be modeled with three process model (or process characteristic) parameters 26: the process gain, time constant, and dead time.
- One closed-loop performance parameter is also assumed: a settling time knob d s ⁇ (this constitutes the closed loop performance parameter at 27 in figure 7), which can be used to adjust closed-loop performance for slow or fast settling.
- the neural network can be off-line optimized without using supervised learning that is used in the related art (as discussed below) using a simulation-based optimization system.
- Figure 8 shows the fast settling (i.e., low t s ⁇ ) performance with overshoot for a low d s ⁇ input 27.
- Figure 9 shows the slow settling (i.e., high t s ⁇ ) performance without overshoot for a high d s ⁇ input 27.
- the key feature of the present invention is the design of nonlinear approximator
- automatic tuner 21 can have a basic architecture, with pre-processor, non-linear approximator 28 and post-processor, as shown in figure 10a.
- Output 22 of the tuner 21 consists of controller parameters (for example, for a PID controller, these would be the proportional, integral, and derivative gains) p c .
- p c ' is an internal variable to automatic tuner 21 that consists of baseline controller parameters which are then modified in a context- sensitive way by neural network or a nonlinear approximator 28. Note that by intelligently structuring autotuner 21 , the number of inputs required for nonlinear approximator 28 is reduced — in this case, to two. T t / T ⁇ to line 46 and d s , to line 29 are inputted to nonlinear approximator 28.
- An output 31 , p which is a control parameter, is fed into summing junction 32.
- a p t bias is added at line 33 to p at summer 32 which outputs a p c nom , which is the vector of nominal (unsealed) control parameters, at line 34 and is inputted to scaling mechanism 35.
- Output 22 of scaling 35 goes to controller 14.
- Tuner 21 can be used in control structure having both linear and nonlinear components.
- tuner 21 can be used in conjunction with a parametrized neurocontroller 36, as shown in figure 1 1.
- Neural network based automatic tuner 21 is optimized off line using a design framework.
- An "evolutionary computing" algorithm has been developed that incorporates aspects of genetic algorithms. Also, a gradient search can be enabled, with gradients numerically computed.
- the flexible nature of the design framework permits one to optimize for criteria that more conventional approaches seldom permit.
- performance criteria need not be quadratic, or even differentiable; control structures can be arbitrarily nonlinear; and robustness can explicitly be considered.
- the present approach to the optimization of neural network based automatic tuner 21 does not require "learning in advance" in which input-output combinations must be first compiled using a separator optimization program, and neural network 28 then trained using supervised learning.
- the present approach can thus be contrasted to the approach of Nomura et al. (U.S. Patent 5,311,421) in which the use of a neural network for tuning is also disclosed but in which the development of the neural network requires a supervised learning algorithm for which appropriate teaching data must be collected.
- inputs may be designated x and outputs designated P c .
- d s ⁇ is part of x.
- P c are control parameters.
- P c is compared with the desired output P c * and the result of the comparison at comparator junction 38 is error ⁇ , which is fed to learning algorithm 39.
- Algorithm 39 then provides an output to neural network 40 to adjust the weights for output adjustments.
- supervised learning a large database of (x, P c *) pairs need to be compiled in advance.
- P c * needs to be computed for many different cases in advance. Nomura et al.
- the C j 's in equation (10) are ideal outputs that the neural network is trained to match, and thus C j 's are to be available for neural network training.
- the neural network is used as a nonlinear regression model and thus the neural network is regressed using input-output training data.
- the present approach does not rely on such supervised learning. No collection of (x, P c *) pairs is needed and no computation of (optimal) P c *'s is required.
- the present neural network is developed using off-line optimization without any need for "learning in advance" in the sense of Nomura et al. No input-output training data is needed.
- Figure 13 shows the design framework 41 of the present invention schematically.
- the vector p can contain gains for a linear control structure, so that one can optimize a fixed controller for some criterion; it can contain parameters for a nonlinear-approximator- based tuner or neural network controller (e.g., parametrized neurocontroller (PNC) 36 in figure 11); or it can contain parameters for both the tuner and controller, so that both modules can simultaneously be optimized.
- PNC parametrized neurocontroller
- the objective of the design activity is to develop tuners or controllers that can be used for a broad range of applications.
- numerous closed-loop simulations must be run for every choice of p. In these simulations, various parameters are varied depending on the design requirements:
- N is the number of closed-loop simulations performed (typically 1000).
- Process models are first order with dead time.
- the process gain Kp is normalized to 1.0, the process time constant Tp to 10.0.
- the process dead time Td varies so that the constraint in the next statement holds: • Estimates of K p , T p , and T d are input to the neural network controller or tuner. These estimates are perturbations of the true model parameters as discussed below. T d is limited to the range [0,2 T ].
- dST controls the robustness of the control, in addition to being a settling time knob as discussed below.
- t ⁇ . is the scaled settling time for the simulation
- y is the scaled
- the overall cost function J is simply the sum of the individual Ji's:
- 0.0 (i.e., no overshoot) maps to a y value of 0.0, and a fractional overshoot of 20
- percent or more maps to 1.0, with the scaling in between again being linear. For the squared sum of control moves, these bounds are 1.0 and 3.0.
- both the PID/PI tuner and the HOLC tuner are designed to allow robustness/performance tradeoffs to be done by simply adjusting one knob (ds ⁇ )> 5
- An outline of the evolutionary computing algorithm used for the design of the neural network tuners (the parameter vector is notated as w rather than p) is provided:
- the nonlinear optimization algorithm attempts to minimize the value of the cost function J(p) by appropriately adjusting the nonlinear approximator parameters p.
- Figures 14a and 14b show two similar nonlinear-approximator-based tuners 21.
- the nonlinear approximator is implemented as a multilayer perceptron neural network.
- the parameters to be optimized in this case are wj , . . ., w]4.
- the nonlinear approximator is implemented as a computationally simple compositional mapping— the figure shows the mathematical formulation of the mapping.
- the parameters to be optimized in this case are w] , w 2 , . . ., wb, al , a 2 , . . ., ab, vi l , v 2 l, . . - ⁇ v b v ⁇ 2 , v 22 , . . ., vb 2 .
- the implementations of Figures 14a and 14b have very similar features, and in both cases output Kc and K as functions of dST and the respective parameters.
- the supervised learning algorithm described in Nomura et al. cannot directly be used for the approximator of Figure 14b.
- tuner 21 can be applied to real systems (provided that the constraints assumed in the design hold for the real system).
- the optimization involved in tuner design may seem complex and time consuming.
- tuner 21 can be easily used in a variety of different applications on simple computational platforms.
- Figure 15 shows how tuner 21 is used for system control. Tuners can be designed and used in different embodiments, depending on the nature of user-control of closed-loop performance desired, and the types of systems and controllers the tuner will be used with.
- PI controller for settling time tuning
- this invention can be applied to design a nonlinear-approximator-based tuner 21 for PI controller 14 with a "settling time" tuning knob 29 when the processes for which tuner 21 is designed are assumed to be adequately characterized by first-order linear dynamics which are accurately known.
- a system is illustrated in figure 15.
- the process model is expressed in the Laplace domain as:
- Tuner 21 has one tuning knob 29, d s t. which can be varied over a range 0.0 to 1.0 to make the process response to a setpoint change be fast or slow. For fast settling, one is relatively tolerant of overshoot in the response, and control action. For slow settling, however, one wants overshoot to be minimized and control action not to be aggressive.
- Figure 16 shows curve 42 of y when d s t is low and curve 43 when d s t is high for setpoint change 24.
- a possible cost function 44 (figure 17) for this embodiment is the following:
- E(») denotes the expectation operator
- d s te[0,l] denotes that the expectation is to be taken over a (uniformly distributed) range from 0 to 1 of values of d s t- t s t represents the settling time of the closed-loop simulation
- y 0 s the overshoot in the response and ⁇ u ma ⁇ the maximum control move encountered.
- the functions f s t( ), fos(-), and fum(-) are scaling functions so that the effect of the three terms is in accordance with the relative importance of each of these features.
- the value of the expression (1) is a function of parameters p of the nonlinear approximator.
- a tuner 21 is designed to minimize J(w) in equation (1), it can directly be used to control the target process.
- the control performance can be adjusted through the use of the tuning knob d s t 29. When d s t is low
- tuner design 21 is based on a specific process model, the tuner performance will largely be dependent on the accuracy of the model. For cases where the model is not precisely known, tuners can be optimized for robust performance.
- Equation (1) cannot be analytically solved in most cases of practical interest. However, it can be approximated by Monte Carlo simulations to as high a degree of accuracy as required. This simulation approximation is guided by a nonlinear optimization algorithm 45 of figure 17. Of course, high precision is gained at the expense of computing time.
- tuner 21 is designed to optimize performance over a range of process models.
- T is the process dead time.
- the three process parameters are assumed to lie within known spaces K (for Kp), T (for Tp), and ⁇ (for Td).
- K for Kp
- T for Tp
- ⁇ for Td
- U(s) is the controller output (Laplace transformed)
- Tj is the integral time
- ⁇ d the derivative time
- ⁇ the rate amplitude (a known constant)
- E(s) the error (Laplace transformed).
- the controller is not of the PID variety but consists of three lead lag terms: I i ao (a ⁇ s+l) (a 2 s+l) (a3s+l) u ⁇ s (b ⁇ s+l ) (b 2 s+l) (b3s+l ) s)
- a second tuning knob, r is added that also varies between 0 and 1.
- the parameter spaces over which tuner 21 operates are now a function of r:
- Cost Function (3) could be simplified by removing r and making K and T dependent on d s t-
- tuner 21 input has not included any information on process 16 itself.
- the tuners can be used for different processes to the extent that they fall within the robustness spaces K, T, and ⁇ above.
- the next two embodiments are described in which the tuner is also provided process parameter estimates as inputs, and is thereby generically applicable to a considerably larger space
- the generic feature is obtained simply by scaling controller gains.
- first order process model In a process-generic tuner, first order process model, one may assume the design conditions of the embodiment of a first order linear process with a PI controller, and let the tuner be designed for specific nominal values of Kp and Tp. Let these values be
- tuner be and .
- the same tuner outputs can be used for a different process (one that permits a first order approximation) with a gain of K and a time constant new of T by adapting the gams as follows:
- Scaling formulae can be derived for all cases where both the controller and the process model are linear. Similar formulae can also be derived for some cases where the controller is nonlinear and the process model is linear. Such scaling formulae can compensate for arbitrary Kp and Tp values. In cases where the process model contains additional parameters, the nominal values above need to be functions of model parameters.
- a delay delay
- Tp time constant
- the tuner design is performed for fixed values of Kp and Tp and with T varying between 0 and ⁇ Tp.
- a weight vector w is determined that minimizes Cost Function (4) — the resulting tuner can then be used for any process that can be modeled as first order with dead time, the only constraint imposed being that the dead time is no greater than ⁇ times the process time constant. For such use, estimated values of process gain, time constant, and dead time need to be input to the tuner. These are used to compute Tr and also to effect scalings such as those defined above. Since Cost Function (4) does not address robustness, these parameters must be accurately known.
- the xi are state variables and ⁇ is a parameter.
- ⁇ is a parameter.
- u(t) aj ⁇ x ⁇ (t) + a 2 ⁇ x (t) + a3 ⁇ x3(t)
- the tuning problem in this case is to estimate appropriate values of the controller parameters al, a2, and a3. This is to be done on the basis of two knobs: One is a performance criterion setting d r that allows the user to tradeoff control action versus fast disturbance rejection for step input disturbances. The other is an estimate ⁇ of the model parameter ⁇ . By incorporating this latter parameter, one allows the same controller and tuner to be used over a range of processes of structure similar to equation (5) without being limited to process models with ⁇ equal to some specific nominal value. The fact that we use an estimate of ⁇ instead of the actual value implies that the tunings will have designed-in robustness to errors in parameter estimation.
- a suitable cost function for this embodiment is the following:
- ⁇ for which this tuner is designed, range from 1 to 5.
- the estimation error for tuning input purposes is up to ⁇ ⁇ , and is a function of ddr so that greater robustness is demanded for slow rejection time.
- the step input disturbances d that one is interested in rejecting have amplitudes between -dmax and d m ax- tdr i the time to reject the input disturbance and ⁇ w) is the sum-squared control action.
- the expectation must also be computed over a space Xo of initial conditions x(0).
- a state feedback controller having a nonlinear process model and input disturbance tuning as above
- a nonlinear controller of known structure, for example:
- the tuner outputs six parameters al - a6- Cost Function (6) can again be used.
- a PD controller integrating linear process, easy-to-compute response feature inputs, rise time tuning, the following may be implemented.
- the process model is:
- Tuner outputs are proportional gain K c and derivative gain K -
- the tuner input consists of simple features computed from the process output after exciting the process at time to with a pulse of height II and width W. The process output is measured at
- the key piece of the tuner is a nonlinear approximator.
- Various nonlinear approximators can be used in this context, including multilayer perceptron neural networks, computationally simple sigmoidal compositions, radial basis function networks, functional link networks, CMAC networks, fuzzy logic models that employ fuzzification and/or defuzzification and/or membership functions, wavelet networks, polynomial expansions, and specific nonlinear parametrized structures.
