SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADAPTIVE SAMPLING RATE ADJUSTMENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for adaptively and automatically adjusting a sampling rate in a feedback control system, the method comprising:
- monitoring an error signal for a disturbance event, wherein the error signal is based on a difference between a setpoint and a feedback signal, wherein the feedback signal is received from a control process;
evaluating the error signal to estimate a time constant of the control process in response to a detected disturbance event;
determining and using a sampling rate for the feedback control system, wherein the sampling rate is determined based on the estimated time constant.

Abstract
A method for adaptively and automatically adjusting a sampling rate in a feedback control system includes monitoring an error signal for a disturbance event, evaluating the error signal in response to the disturbance event to estimate a time constant of a control process, and determining a sampling rate for use in the feedback control system based on the estimated time constant. The error signal may be based on a difference between a setpoint and a feedback signal and the feedback signal may be received from the control process.
