Is it P controller or PI controller?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : PID Controller Tuning : One Thread

Dear all, could anyone tell me the following fomula is P controller or PI controller?

u(k)=u(k-1)+k*( e(k)- e(k-1) )

Thanks in advance.

It is PD controller.

it is a PI controller

You are both wrong. It is a P controller. Proof: A simple proportional controller is: u(n)=Kp*e(n) Also u(n-1)=Kp*e(n-1)

Subtract the second equation from the first u(n)-u(n-1)=Kp*e(n)-Kp*e(n-1) Add u(n-1) two both sides u(n)=u(n-1)+Kp*e(n)-Kp*e(n-1) u(n)=u(n-1)+Kp*(e(n)-e(n-1)) This is the equation in question.

A PI controller: u(n)=u(n-1)+(Kp+Ki*T)*e(n)-Kp*e(n-1)

A PD controler: u(n)=u(n-1)+(Kp+Kd/T)*e(n)+(-Kp-2*kd/T)*e(n-1)+Kd/T*e(n-2)

please send information about pi controller design. thank you.

definitely it is PI controller, reason is simple as it is taking into account two values one current and one previous to current. Above explanation itself discards the possibily of P Controller
