Optimierung eines Regelkreises mit Tischanalogrechner und Digitalzusatz
A 1968 Telefunken reprint (Sonderdruck) of an article from 'elektronische datenverarbeitung,' pp. 293–297, by H. Kramer. Describes how the Telefunken RAE 360 desktop analog computer, coupled with the DCR 100 digital attachment, is used to optimize a PID control loop by minimizing the quadratic integral criterion ∫e²(t)dt via an automated iterative hill-climbing algorithm. The digital unit systematically varies the three controller parameters (K_P, T_N, T_V), triggers simulation runs on the analog computer, and converges on the optimal parameter set without manual intervention.
