AN INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF TRANSPORTATION LAG ON RELAY SERVO SYSTEMS

Abstract

Most physical systems are nonlinear to some extent. One variety of nonlinear systems uses a relay or other on-off device as a control element. Since in the process industries or relay servo systems, one often encounters a type of time delay called transportation lag or dead time, it is highly desirable to investigate the effects of the transportation lag on the process or relay servo system. This paper demonstrates the effects of the transportation lag on the relay servo system and shows how to eliminate these effects.
