Industrial PID Controller Tuning

Part of the book series: Advances in Industrial Control ((AIC))

Abstract

Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) controller tuning is central in the process control field, but selecting the correct parameters is far from trivial since it needs to take into account multiple considerations such as performance, robustness, and topology, etc. This chapter gives an overview of PID controller tuning. Analytical tuning methods are presented in order to have the most fundamental mathematical description of a tuning rule. Then, the chapter explores the tuning based on the minimization of performance criteria which are then applied to integral cost functions. The particular solution to this problem is explored in detail in the next chapter.
