Abstract
“Antiwindup”, “Overrides”, and “Bumpless Transfer” are typical nonlinear add-on functions to linear feedback controllers. They cope with typical nonlinear effects “in the large”, such as plant input constraints by actuator saturations, plant output constraints by operational limits on secondary plant outputs, and interaction between logic control and feedback control loops. They have been invented and refined by practitioners in an intuitive engineering design way for their standard control equipment. They work well for most control tasks, but are not so well understood from a more scientific point of view.
