Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed control gain is used in the PID controller, then the control system is simple to implement, but the response characteristics cannot be dynamically optimized over a wide range of speed demands
Solution Approach 1:
The control gain is made dynamic by introducing a gain correction term that varies with the amplitude of the error signal. The corrected gain Kg(s) = Kp0 * (1 + α * |e(t)|) allows the controller to adapt its gain automatically based on the current error magnitude, enabling optimized response characteristics across different operating conditions without requiring complex external adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The control parameter (gain) is changed dynamically based on the error signal amplitude. By modifying the gain parameter according to the relationship Kg(s) = Kp0 * (1 + α * |e(t)|), the system transitions from a fixed-parameter controller to a variable-parameter controller that automatically adjusts its characteristics to match the current operational state, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and adaptability
2Speed
If the proportional gain Kp is increased to improve response speed, then high-speed control is achieved, but oscillations are generated in the deviation
Solution Approach 1:
The gain is made dynamic to vary with error amplitude, allowing high gain during large errors for fast response and low gain during small errors for stability. This dynamic adjustment eliminates the need to choose between speed and stability, as the gain automatically adapts to the current operating phase
Solution Approach 2:
The control parameter (gain) is changed based on the error signal amplitude rather than being fixed. This parameter change strategy allows the system to use different gain values for different error magnitudes, achieving both fast response when needed and stability when the system is near the target
3Stability of the object's composition
If the proportional gain Kp is decreased to reduce oscillations, then system stability is improved, but the response speed becomes slow
Solution Approach 1:
The dynamic gain adjustment allows the system to have high response speed during transient states (large errors) and high stability during steady-state operation (small errors), eliminating the trade-off between speed and stability that exists in fixed-gain systems
Solution Approach 2:
By changing the gain parameter dynamically based on error amplitude, the system achieves both fast response and stability without compromise - high gain when error is large provides fast response, while low gain when error is small provides stability

AI summary
A control device controls a magnetic field generated by a magnetic field generator, and includes a magnetic field controller that controls the magnetic field generator based on a detected value by a magnetic field sensor. The magnetic field controller receives a command value generated by the magnetic field generator, and the detected value. The magnetic field controller generates an error signal based on an error between the command value and the detected value and outputs to the magnetic field generator a control signal amplified by a control gain against the error. The control gain includes: a first gain that becomes smaller as a frequency of the error signal gets higher; and a second gain that gets larger as an amplitude of the error signal gets larger.
