Abstract

This paper proposes new algorithms for finding control gains of PI controller for systems with time delay. Algorithms are designed based on time domain, frequency domain and Robustness specifications. Proposed algorithms can find a zone of controller’s gain which satisfies desired performance specifications. This paper also suggests method for finding out the best tuning point among the multiple tuning points (i.e. within the gain zone). Illustrative examples are provided.
