Nonlinear Control Output Signal Characterization

R. Russell Rhinehart
15 min
Intermediate
Article / Blog
Application

If the process gain makes large changes over the operating range, then tuning PID (or other linear) controllers is difficult.  If tuned for one region, the controller is undesirably sluggish...
