For a paper processing plant, it is important to maintain a constant tension on the continuous sheet
Question:
Figure P4.10
Paper tension control.
Therefore, the measure of the tension is described by the relation 2T(s) = k1y, where y is the deviation from the equilibrium condition, and T(s) is the vertical component of the deviation in tension from the equilibrium condition. The time constant of the motor is Ñ = La/Ra, and the linear velocity of the wind-up roll is twice the angular velocity of the motor, that is, v0(t) = 2w0(t). The equation of the motor is then
where ÎT = a tension disturbance.
(a) Draw the closed-loop block diagram for the system, including the disturbance ÎT(s).
(b) Add the effect of a disturbance in the wind-off roll velocity ÎV1(s) to the block diagram. (c) Determine the sensitivity of the system to the motor constant Km.
(d) Determine the steady-state error in the tension when a step disturbance in the input velocity, ÎV1(s) = A/s, occurs.
