Abstract

A simple methodology for tuning and testing PID loops by means of nonstandard inputs such as a slowly varying signal, a sequence of small steps, etc., is presented. A discrete 2nd order transfer function with delay is assumed both as a model of the plant and of the closed-loop system. After smoothing the output data, the models are identified by least-squares enabling reconstruction of corresponding step responses. Given the plant response, PID controller can be tuned in standard ways. Overshoot and settling time of the closed-loop response indicate whether the system satisfies specification.
