Abstract

The method serves to control sluggishly reacting plants by controllers in which rapid changes in set value occur. The controller has an integral section and a proportional section separate from the I-section. The I-section receives a control deviation signal formed from the actual value and the set value, whereas the P-section is supplied with the set value. The output signals of the I-section and of the P-section act on the plant. The I-section is blocked for the duration of an abrupt change in the set value. As a result of this relatively short interruption in operation of the I-section, the control of the plant is improved.
