The article addresses the matter of reducing the power of high-frequency noise in the control signal produced by industrial automatic systems through the use of algorithms implementing the properties of comb filters in microprocessor controllers. The specific features relating to the frequency responses of open- and closed-loop automatic control systems of industrial facilities are analyzed - both taken alone and in combination with the characteristics of comb filters. The frequency properties of three filter groups that are conventionally used in continuous automatic control systems are compared with three groups of comb filters that implement similar functions. As applied to control tasks, such filters include real differentiating sections or first-order high-pass filters, first-order lag sections or low-pass filters, and proportional sections. The ratios between the parameters of continuous filters and comb filters at which their frequency properties coincide in the operating frequency band are determined. These ratios known, it becomes possible to synthesize the controllers of systems using the existing techniques. It is shown that the amplitude-frequency responses of comb filters have dips in the high-frequency band, due to which the high frequency noise power is finally decreased by up to 30%. The advantage of comb filters in control systems lies in simplicity of implementing them in digital form in a microprocessor controller. The application of comb filters in automatic control systems makes it possible to cut undesirable harmonic noise of large amplitude in the control signal. |
