Abstract:
The Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is a control strategy that has
been successfully used over many years. Simplicity, a wide range of
applicability and near-optimal performance are some of the reasons that have
made PID control so popular in the academic researches and industry
applications.
In this research a brief summary of PID theory is given, then some of the most
used PID controller tuning methods are discussed, model of using PID to control
speed of direct current motor studied with detailing because it is one of the most
common actuator used in the control system.
Model has been simulated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Simulation results
have been presented.
