Principles for Handling In-Phase Oscillations in Control Systems

PLC /

What Are In-Phase Oscillations? In control systems, an in-phase oscillation occurs when a control loop in automatic mode exhibits regular oscillations. Depending on the nature of these oscillations, they can be categorized into three types: Nonlinear Oscillations: Symptoms: Process variable exhibits square-wave behavior, while the controller output forms a sawtooth pattern. Cause: This is often
