Transcribed Image Text:2. The idea was not to overcomplicate (after all, we are reading numbers from a graph)
the analysis but to find parameter values that make sense in terms of fitting the curve
given in the question.
T =
t90-t30
In(7)
; ta = t90 − − ln(10)
My (very rough) estimates are:
t30 ≈ 30s t90≈ 50s T≈ 0.5 * (50 – 30) ≈ 10s ta≈ 1.2 × 30 – 0.2 × 50 ≈ 26s
Note that this short-cut method of fitting the FOPDT model is based on forcing agreement
with the process data where it reaches 30% and 90% of its ultimate value.
