Feedback Linearization

• Correct for small errors

• Geometric conversionFeedback

Desired measurement

FPIRC16 11

Switching Feedback On-the-Fly

Switch between multiple sensors over the desired measurement range for maximum measurement resolution in each range.

FPIRC16 12

Switching Feedback On-the-Fly

Example:0-10,000 psi testing system

At 100 psi, this test would give only 10% accuracy.

= .1% accuracy .1% of 10000 psi = ± 10 psi

FPIRC16 13

Switching Feedback On-the-Fly

Use multiple sensors for maximum accuracy over the entire range

Greater testing accuracy achieved by smoothly switching between sensors on-the-fly.

= 0-500 psi, .1% accuracy ± 0.5 psi

= 0-5000 psi, .1% accuracy ± 5 psi

= 0-1000 psi, .1% accuracy ± 10 psi

Control to Average, Difference,

Sum, etc.Example: Pulp refining gap control

Sensor 2Sensor 1

Gap = Sensor 2 – Sensor 1

Electronic Platen Control

Custom Feedback + Cascaded Loop

Sum the cylinder forces together

to control total force of platen.

Results in a lightweight platen
