Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If feedback control with fixed gain is used, then the control system is simple, but optimal feedback control cannot be performed when drive characteristics change, leading to abnormal oscillation or long setting time
Solution Approach 1:
The gain in the feedback control system is made dynamically adjustable based on detected drive characteristics. The gain setting unit changes the gain according to the detected drive amount and drive characteristics, transforming the fixed gain system into a dynamic adaptive system that maintains optimal performance under varying conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the detection unit that detects drive characteristics to automatically adjust the gain setting. This feedback mechanism enables the control system to adapt to changes in drive characteristics caused by environmental factors or temporal variations, preventing abnormal oscillation and reducing setting time.
2Loss of time
If gain is adjusted to improve response speed, then setting time is reduced, but abnormal oscillation may occur when drive characteristics change
Solution Approach 1:
The gain parameter is dynamically changed based on detected drive characteristics. The gain setting unit adjusts the gain parameter according to the actual drive amount and drive characteristics detected by the detection unit, enabling the system to optimize response speed while maintaining stability under varying operating conditions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If fixed gain is used, then the control system is simple, but appropriate gain control cannot be performed when environmental factors change drive characteristics
Solution Approach 1:
The control system performs self-adjustment by automatically detecting drive characteristics and adjusting the gain accordingly. The detection unit monitors drive characteristics and the gain setting unit autonomously modifies the gain parameter, enabling the system to adapt to environmental changes without external intervention.
