Discontinuous control systems are the oldest type of control system and the mostwidespreadtypeofnonlinearcontrolsystem. Thetheoryofdiscontinuous control, and the theory of relay feedback systems in particular, is usually c- sidered a mature subject. However, many problems in discontinuous control theory still remain open. One problem involves the input-output properties of these systems, knowledge of which is extremely important to every app- cation. Two types of discontinuous control systems are studied in this book. The ?rst is the so-called relay feedback system, which normally encompasses...

The relay feedback test (RFT) has become a popular and efficient in process identification and automatic controller tuning. Non-parametric Tuning of PID Controllers couples new modifications of classical RFT with application-specific optimal tuning rules to form a non-parametric method of test-and-tuning. Test and tuning are coordinated through a set of common parameters so that a PID controller can obtain the desired gain or phase margins in a system exactly, even with unknown process dynamics. The concept of process-specific optimal tuning rules in the nonparametric setup, with...

This monograph presents a simple and efficient two-relay control algorithm for generation of self-excited oscillations of a desired amplitude and frequency in dynamic systems. Developed by the authors, the two-relay controller consists of two relays switched by the feedback received from a linear or nonlinear system, and represents a new approach to the self-generation of periodic motions in underactuated mechanical systems.
The first part of the book explains the design procedures for two-relay control using three different methodologies - the describing-function method, Poincare...
