A two-dimensional parameter adjusting field is generated, allowing users to select points that allocate specific parameter values to position and rotational speed controllers, with automatic determination of stability limits and visualization of optimal adjustments, including colored coding for unstable points and calculated stability limits based on simulated or measured operating variables.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional independent adjustment methods are used for position and rotational speed controllers, then the adjustment process becomes complex and time-consuming, but the system stability cannot be guaranteed without extensive heuristic guesswork
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the traditional independent adjustment of position and rotational speed parameters into a two-dimensional parameter field where both parameters can be adjusted simultaneously. This dimensional transformation allows users to visualize and adjust parameter combinations in a unified space, reducing complexity while maintaining stability through the displayed stability information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides automatic feedback by determining and displaying whether the control circuit achieves or exceeds its stability limit for selected parameter combinations. This feedback mechanism eliminates the need for extensive heuristic guesswork by immediately informing users about the stability status of their parameter selections, thereby ensuring reliable system operation.
2Reliability
If comprehensive stability analysis is performed for all parameter combinations, then system stability can be ensured, but the adjustment process becomes overly complex and difficult to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the parameter adjustment process by dividing the two-dimensional parameter field into stable and unstable regions based on stability analysis. This segmentation allows users to focus only on stable parameter combinations without performing comprehensive analysis of all possible combinations, thereby ensuring system stability while keeping the adjustment process simple and intuitive.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary stability analysis for various parameter combinations and pre-displays the stability status in the two-dimensional parameter field. This preliminary action eliminates the need for users to perform complex real-time stability analysis during adjustment, as the stability information is already prepared and visualized for immediate reference.
3Loss of information
If manual heuristic adjustment is used without visualization tools, then the adjustment process is simple in terms of tools, but it lacks straightforward visualization of stability limits and optimal adjustments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs color coding to visually represent stability information in the two-dimensional parameter field. Different colors indicate stable and unstable regions, providing straightforward visualization of stability limits and optimal adjustments. This visual representation eliminates information loss by making stability status immediately apparent without requiring complex analysis tools.
