RATE DIAGRAM METHOD OF ANALYSIS OF AN ONOFF CONTROL SYSTEM,
Abstract
The development of a technique is described in which the performance of a class of on-off control systems can be analyzed by means of a 'rate diagram'. Such a diagram is a plot of the controlled element output rate at control removal versus the rate at control application. Information regarding system stability, transient response, limit cycles, and duty cycles can readily be obtained directly from the rate diagram. This method can be effectively used as a design tool in optimizing systems to meet specified performance requirements. (Author)
