Tuning PID Controllers: Is the Boogeyman Really as Scary as He's Made Out to Be? Part 1. Single-Loop System
This article opens a series focused on automated methods for tuning PID controllers in the Simulink environment. Today, we will explore how to use the PID Tuner application. Introduction The most common type of controllers used in industry for closed-loop control systems can be considered PID controllers. While engineers remember the structure and operating principles of these controllers from their student days, their tuning — that is, calculation — is often a more complex process.
