Control Design Onramp with Simulink

Learn the basics of feedback control design in Simulink®. Adjust the gains of a PID controller to change the dynamics of a physical system and get the closed-loop system behavior that you...

Regulatory PID (Polish)

W tym odcinku, opisze wam podstawy działania regulatorów PID.

PID Tuner

Tuning a PID controller can be easily done using a systematic procedure. PID Tuner just put it in a web application. No more trial and error. 

Use the step response data from your system...

Peter Ponders PID - Why PID with 2nd Derivative Gain?

If you have ever tuned a hydraulic system and wondered why PID control didn't work better than PI control the answer is here. Since the 1980s people have kn...

Standard HW Problem #1: PID and Root Locus

A walk through of a typical homework problem using the root locus method to tune a PID controller. This is the first in what may be a series of homework style problems I'll cover. This is...

Peter Ponders PID - Integrated Time Absolute Error - 4 Pole example

This video shows how to calculate the coefficients for a 4 pole ITAE and how to use the 4 pole ITAE to calculate closed loop controller gains.

Peter Ponders PID-Fuzzy Logic vs PID

There are many academic and engineering papers showing how good fuzzy logic control is relative to PID control. Every FL vs PID paper I have seen compares...

Peter Ponders PID - T0P1 Part 4, Misc Topics

This video covers another way to compute symbolic gains, the difference between having the P gain act on the error or just the feedback, extending bandwidt...

Simple Examples of PID Control

In this video I continue the topic of PID control. We walk through a simple control system and visualize how each of the three paths, P, I, and D, all address specific problems that arise...

Direct Synthesis for PID Controller Design

What tuning parameters should you choose for your controller? The Direct Synthesis Model is one method control engineers use today to evaluate controller par...

Peter Ponders PID, Natural Frequency vs Frequency of Acceleration

This video is intended for servo hydraulic system designers and those that program hydraulic servo systems but it does show how several of the techniques sho...

Peter Ponders PID - Cascade Control Part1

I cover whether cascade control is necessary. Why there needs to be a feed back for every loop. How to calculate gains. Bode plots and ratio of the inner t...

PID Control - A brief introduction

In this video, I introduce the topic of PID control. This is a short introduction design to prepare you for the next few lectures where I will go through several examples of PID control....

Direct Design Example for PID Controller

I go through an example problem of how we can use Direct Design (also called Direct Synthesis) to determine the tuning parameters for a PID controller, given...

Auto Tuning a Small DC Motor in Torque Mode

I was really testing the picture in picture feature of the Screen Flow software I use to make these videos. I knew the auto tuning would work. I kept the v...

Understanding PID Control, Part 3: Expanding Beyond a Simple Derivative

This video describes how to make an ideal PID controller more robust when controlling real systems that don’t behave like ideal linear models. Noise is generated by sensors and is present in...

Understanding PID Controller

This blog post begins by walking through the basics and the theoretical part of the PID controllers.  The controller is then tested, verified, and analyzed using MATLAB.

Peter Ponders PID - Closed Loop Zeros

This video covers closed loop zeros, what causes zeros and the benefits and drawbacks of closed loop zeros.

Peter Ponders PID - Cascade Control Part2

The inner loop pole locations and gains are calculated first so the inner loop pole locations are determined by the user. The outer loop poles are still pla...

Control Bootcamp: Cruise Control Example with Proportional-Integral (PI) co...

In this video, we show that introducing integral control reduces the steady-state tracking error to zero in the cruise control example. We also use a more sophisticated model for the...

Direct Synthesis Method Numerator Dynamics Problem

I walk through how to design a PID feedback controller when given a second order process with numerator dynamics, using the Direct Synthesis Method.

Peter Ponders PID - Controlling a non-integrating single pole system. Part 3...

Part 3 uses PI control which is the only practical means of control a non-integrating single pole system.http://deltamotion.comhttp://forum.deltamotion.com

Understanding PID Control, Part 2: Expanding Beyond a Simple Integral

The first video in this series described a PID controller, and it showed how each of the three branches help control your system.That seemed simple enough and appeared to work. However, in...

Peter Ponders PID - IAE,ITAE,ISE Performance indicators

Performance indicators can be used to compute closed loop pole locations. Only one gain parameter is required to move the pole locations closer to the origi...
