Design of a simple setpoint filter for minimizing overshoot for low order processes.
Setpoint filters are widely used along with a PID controller. The aim of the present paper is to reduce the peak overshoot to a desired/tolerable limit. To design a setpoint filter, numerous methods are available, which need extensive calculations. Moreover, the existing methods need information regarding the process parameters, values of controller settings and are laborious. But the proposed method is very simple and requires only the information about the peak overshoot and peak time of the system response regardless of type and order of the system with arbitrary PID parameters. Several examples are taken to show efficacy of the process.
