plant process parameters

[gauravmohta]

hello,

How do i find process parameters for my plant? I have seen the general PID autotuning example in labview, but am not able to figure out process parameters like dead cycle, deadband, static gain, load etc etc....

PS:- Theoretically i know the defination of the above mentioned parameters, but i am not able to find their value for my plant so that i can autotune it.

Please help

There is no general way to find the parameters of the plant because an infinite number of possible plants exists.

You should have or be able to determine a general idea of the plant's behavior from your knowledge of the plant itself. Once you have that you may be able to design a set of tests which would allow you to measure the parameters. However, you need to consider carefully the possible consequences of running a test which could force the plant into an unstable or dangerous state.
