#84659 - OT Step responses
I have a neat classical digital PID controller scheme in the instrument that I have often mentioned which uses Peltier cooling systems. As part of a significant upgrade, I am looking at new control strategies.

The game is to massively increase the speed of cooling in the system to take a small chunk of metal and oil form roughly +40 to -40 degrees as fast as possible,but at the cold end, the final control point is to be -40.0 +/- 0.05 deg C.

Now a lot of improvements have been made by altering the plumbing of the directly refrigerated heatsinks that back up the cell, but I have always thought there is a faster strategy than the old 1/4 wave response beloved of control engineers - especially if one allows for some non-linear control strategy.

In other words I am looking for methods of optimising the step response to have as close to zero SSE as possible in minimum time.

Can any one suggest names for technique which I should examine ?

And, yes, the whole backend of the instrument is controlled by an 8052.
