In this study, both static
and dynamic control performances of pneumatic proportional pressure regulating
valve have been evaluated. For this purpose, FESTO VPPM-6L-L-1-G18-0L10H-V1P
type valve has been tested and its pressure tracking performances have been
examined under different conditions. To test the valve, an experimental
configuration has been proposed wherein a pressure sensor was additionally
included to the valve. Since the valve was manufactured with three different
control modes by manufacturer, real time hardware-in-the-loop tests have been
carried out in each mode and the results have been compared. While the valve
has responded successfully under static operating conditions, decreases in
control performance have been observed under dynamic conditions. With this proposed
study, it has been suggested that the operating performance of the valve can be
upgraded with additional controller designs.
