COMPUTER AIDED TUNING OF DIGITAL CONTROLLERS FOR THE AUTOMATION OF ENGINE TEST RIGS. PREDICTION AND SIULATION OF IN-SERVICE CONDITIONS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONFERENCE HELD AT THE INSTITUTION OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS

For the automation of engine tests feedback control of various engine and dynamometer parameters becomes necessary. In order to obtain optimum control quality the control parameters have to be matched individually to each engine under test, since their static and dynamic characteristics may vary significantly. Tuning with conventional procedures needs much expertise and time. Thus up to now the feedback controllers, if used at all, are tuned only with a compromise parameter set for all engines to be tested. Using modern computer aided techniques of process identification and control parameter estimation the investigation of man-power for controller tuning can be drastically reduced or totally eliminated. Therefore the individual matching to the specific engine under test becomes a realistic possibility to improve quality control. (Author/TRRL)
