Controller unit useful for controlling controlled variable of controlled system, comprises controller comprising control element, and adaptable unit that is connected with controller, in which barrier for desired value is storable

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention is a controller unit designed to manage and optimize a controlled variable (such as temperature, pressure, or speed) within a system. The unit consists of a controller and an adaptable unit, where user-defined limits (barriers) for the target value can be stored. If the target value exceeds these set barriers, the adaptability feature automatically adjusts certain control parameters for improved system response and transmits these updates to the controller.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Industrial automation to control processes like temperature, pressure, or flow rates
• Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for more precise climate control
• Automotive systems for adapting engine or braking behavior in response to changing setpoint limits
• Robotics, where dynamic adaptation to variable targets improves task accuracy
• Energy management systems that need to react to fluctuating demand or supply targets

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Improved system stability and accuracy by automatically adjusting control parameters
• Greater flexibility in handling changing operating targets or limits
• Enhanced safety by preventing target values from exceeding safe or acceptable boundaries
• Reduced need for manual intervention, as the system adapts automatically
• Potential for improved efficiency in controlled systems due to adaptive control

Patent Abstract

Controller unit (10) comprises a controller (20) comprising at least one control element, where the controller reduces a control error of a controlled variable (38) to a predetermined desired value (target), and an adaptable unit (28), which is connected with the controller, where in the adaptable unit at least one barrier for the desired value (target) is storable, and if the desired value is greater and/or less than the barrier, at least one factor associated with control element is changed and the changed factor is transmitted to the controller. An independent claim is also included for controlling the controlled variable to the desired value.
