Abstract
The object in this paper is to find the stability
regions of an arbitrary order discrete or continuous time
transfer function with time delay. The stability bounds of the
proportional integral (PI) controller are found in terms of the
proportional ( Kp ) and integral gain ( Ki ). The delta operator
is used to describe the controllers because it provides not
only numerical properties superior to the discrete time shift
operator, but also converges to the continuous time derivative
operator as the sampling period approaches a zero.
The advantage of this method is that designers can find the
stability boundaries when only the frequency response and
not the parameters of the plant transfer function are known. A
unified approach allows us to use the same procedure for
finding the discrete time and continuous time stability
regions. If the plant transfer function is known, the stability
regions can be found analytically. Regions where phase and
gain margin specifications are met can also be found.
