Relay feedback based autotuning PID control of paper basis weight in paper making process

The brief arts crafts of the ordinary fourdrinier are introduced first. After the intractable points of paper basis weight (BW) control are analyzed, an autotuning PID/PI control algorithm based on relay feedback identification is proposed, which has such advantages as simple parameter adjustment, little dependence on process model, strong robustness and easiness to implementation. And it is very suitable for controlling such processes as BW loop with large time delay.
