Most published PID controller tuning methods are designed for optimum loop performance, not necessarily optimum process performance. Optimizing the process performance may require that the loops in ...

A better understanding of closed-loop control, and how to tune it, can be found by looking at the individual parts of the PID equation and the effect of each on the controlled output By Bill Dehner ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...

The paper presents the speed control analysis for a turbocharged engine by simulation using block diagram type of modeling and solving the differential equations using both fourth order Runge-Kutta ...

This paper presents a DC motor speed controlling technique under varying load condition. The linear system model of separately excited DC motor with Torque-variation is designed using PID controller.

Editor's Note: Tim Wescott's “PID without a PhD” was originally published Embedded Systems Programming in October 2000. The article became a huge hit over the years and was “repurposed” by other sites ...
