Pid parameter adjustment device

A parameter adjustment device which adjusts a control parameter for a controller which calculates a manipulated variable by performing computation based on the control parameter, characterized by comprising:

• a model storage unit which stores a mathematical model of a controlled system in advance;
• a controller storage unit which stores, in advance, a controller algorithm by which the controller controls the controlled system;
• a constraint condition storage unit which stores a constraint condition on operation of the controller in advance;
• an ideal control result storage unit which stores an ideal control response characteristic associated with a control system including a controlled system represented by the mathematical model and a controller represented by the controller algorithm;
• a first simulation computation unit which performs a first simulation to simulate a transition state of the controlled system by applying an upper limit manipulated variable or a lower limit manipulated variable defined by the constraint condition to the controlled system for a manipulated variable maintenance time;
• an ideal response result storage unit which stores an ideal response result as an ideal result of the first simulation in advance;
• a first evaluation function computation unit which computes a first evaluation function value representing a proximity between a result of the first simulation and the ideal response result;
• a manipulated variable maintenance time search computation unit which extracts a manipulated variable maintenance time which makes the first evaluation function value become an optimal value by causing said first simulation computation unit to execute the first simulation while sequentially changing the manipulated variable maintenance time;
• an ideal response waveform registration processing unit which registers a result of the first simulation corresponding to the extracted manipulated variable maintenance time as the ideal control response characteristic in said ideal control result storage unit;
• a second simulation computation unit which performs a second simulation to simulate a control response of the control system on the basis of the constraint condition;
• a second evaluation function computation unit which computes a second evaluation function value representing a proximity between a result of the second simulation and the ideal control response characteristic registered in said ideal control result storage unit;
• and
• a parameter search computation unit which causes said second simulation computation unit to execute the second simulation while sequentially changing the control parameter for the controller algorithm, and uses, as a parameter adjustment result, a control parameter which makes the second evaluation function value become an optimal value.
