Abstract |
One of the advantages of the well-known PID controller is that it is a sufficiently flexible controller for many applications. But, when the plant parameters and disturbances are unknown or change with time, it is desirable to make automatic tuning of PID controller in order to achieve an acceptable level of performance of the control system. This paper presents a reformulation of the self-tuning pole-zero placement controller subject to some conditions and restrictions. It has the structure of a digital PID controller and is based on Vogel and Edgar's pole-zero placement design method. Various properties of this self-tuning PID controller are described and illustrated by simulation examples. |
