Tuning PID Controller
This document discusses tuning PID controllers for unknown extended controlled processes. It provides an overview of PID controller types and parameters. Methods for offline and online tuning are described, including Ziegler-Nichols and lambda tuning based on process parameters obtained from step response tests. Auto-tuning using relay feedback is also covered. Examples are given for tuning temperature, flow, level, and other process types. Selection of controller type depends on process characteristics like time constant. PID tuning aims to achieve satisfactory closed-loop response while meeting control objectives.
