 Introduction
• The usefulness of PID controls lies in their general applicability to
most control systems.

• In particular, when the mathematical model of the plant is not

known and therefore analytical design methods cannot be used,
PID controls prove to be most useful.

• It is interesting to note that more than half of the industrial

controllers in use today are PID controllers or modified PID
controllers.

• Because most PID controllers are adjusted on-site, many different

types of tuning rules have been proposed in the literature.
 Introduction
• PID Stands for
– P  Proportional
– I  Integral
– D  Derivative
 Proportional Control (P)
• In proportional mode, there is a continuous linear relation
between value of the controlled variable and position of the
final control element.

• Output of proportional controller is
𝑐  𝑝 (𝑡)=𝐾 𝑝 𝑒(𝑡 )
• The transfer function can be written as

 𝐶 𝑝(𝑠)

𝐸(𝑠) 𝑝 5
 Proportional Controllers (P)
• As the gain is increased the system responds faster to
changes in set-point but becomes progressively
underdamped and eventually unstable.

6
 Proportional Plus Integral Controllers (PI)
• Integral control describes a controller in which the output
rate of change is dependent on the magnitude of the
input.
• Specifically, a smaller amplitude input causes a slower
rate of change of the output.

• The major advantage of integral controllers is that they

have the unique ability to return the controlled variable
back to the exact set point following a disturbance.

• The stability and overshoot problems that arise when a
proportional controller is used at high gain can be mitigated by
adding a term proportional to the time-derivative of the error signal.

PID TUNING RULES

 PID Tuning
• The transfer function of PID controller is given as
 𝐶 𝑝 𝑖𝑑 ( 𝑠) 1
=𝐾 + 𝐾 𝑖 + 𝐾 𝑑 𝑠
𝐸( 𝑠) 𝑝 𝑠
• It can be simplified as
 𝐶 𝑝 𝑖𝑑 ( 𝑠 ) 1
=𝐾 (1+ +𝑇 𝑑 𝑠)
𝐸 ( 𝑠) 𝑝
𝑇 𝑖𝑠
• Where

 PID Tuning
•• The
  process of selecting the controller parameters () to
meet given performance specifications is known as
controller tuning.

• Ziegler and Nichols suggested rules for tuning PID

controllers experimentally.

• Which are useful when mathematical models of plants are

not known.

• These rules can, of course, be applied to the design of

systems with known mathematical models.
 PID Tuning
•• Such
  rules suggest a set of values of that will give a stable
operation of the system.

• However, the resulting system may exhibit a large maximum

overshoot in the step response, which is unacceptable.

• In such a case we need series of fine tunings until an

acceptable result is obtained.

• In fact, the Ziegler–Nichols tuning rules give an educated guess

for the parameter values and provide a starting point for fine
tuning, rather than giving the final settings for in a single shot.
 Zeigler-Nichol’s PID Tuning Methods
•• Ziegler
  and Nichols proposed rules for determining values
of the based on the transient response characteristics of a
given plant.

• Such determination of the parameters of PID controllers or

tuning of PID controllers can be made by engineers on-site
by experiments on the plant.

• There are two methods called Ziegler–Nichols tuning rules:

• First method (open loop Method)
• Second method (Closed Loop Method)
 Zeigler-Nichol’s First Method
• In the first method, we
obtain experimentally
the response of the
plant to a unit-step
input.

• If the plant involves

neither integrator(s) nor
dominant complex-
conjugate poles, then
such a unit-step
response curve may look
S-shaped
 Zeigler-Nichol’s First Method
• This method applies if the response to a step input exhibits an
S-shaped curve.

• Such step-response curves may be generated experimentally

or from a dynamic simulation of the plant.
Table-1
 Zeigler-Nichol’s Second Method
• In
  the second method, we first set and .
• Using the proportional control action only (as shown in
figure), increase Kp from 0 to a critical value Kcr at which
the output first exhibits sustained oscillations.

• If the output does not exhibit sustained oscillations for

whatever value Kp may take, then this method does not
apply.
 Zeigler-Nichol’s Second Method
• Thus, the critical gain Kcr
and the corresponding
period Pcr are determined.

 Example-2
•• Consider
  the control system shown in following figure.

• Apply a Ziegler–Nichols tuning rule for the determination

of the values of parameters .
 Example-2
• Transfer function of the plant is

  1
𝐺 ( 𝑠 )=
𝑠( 𝑠+1)(𝑠 +5)
• Since plant has an integrator therefore Ziegler-Nichol’s
first method is not applicable.

• According to second method proportional gain is varied

till sustained oscillations are produced.

• That value of Kc is referred as Kcr.

 Example-2
•• Here,
  since the transfer function of the plant is known we can
find using
– Root Locus
– Routh-Herwitz Stability Criterion

• By setting and closed loop transfer function is obtained as

follows.

 𝐾 𝑝

 𝐶 ( 𝑠) 𝐾𝑝
=
𝑅 ( 𝑠) 𝑠 ( 𝑠+1 )( 𝑠+5 ) + 𝐾 𝑝
 Example-2
•• The
  value of that makes the system marginally unstable so
that sustained oscillation occurs can be obtained as

 𝑠 3 +6 𝑠2 +5 𝑠+ 𝐾 𝑝 =0
• The Routh array is obtained as

 • Examining the coefficients of first

column of the Routh array we find
that sustained oscillations will
occur if .

• Thus the critical gain is

𝐾 𝑐𝑟 =30
 
 Example-2
•• With
  gain set equal to 30, the characteristic equation
becomes
 𝑠 3 +6 𝑠2 +5 𝑠+ 30=0
• To find the frequency of sustained oscillations, we substitute
into the characteristic equation.

 ( 𝑗 𝜔)3 +6( 𝑗 𝜔)2+5 𝑗 𝜔 +3 0= 0

• Further simplification leads to

6(5
  − 𝜔¿¿ 2)+ 𝑗 𝜔(5− 𝜔¿ ¿ 2)=0 ¿ ¿

6(5
  − 𝜔¿¿ 2)=0 ¿

𝜔= √5 𝑟𝑎𝑑 /𝑠𝑒𝑐
 
 Example-2
 
𝜔= √ 5 𝑟𝑎𝑑 /𝑠𝑒𝑐
•• Hence
  the period of sustained oscillations is
  2𝜋
𝑃𝑐𝑟 =
𝜔
  2𝜋
𝑃𝑐𝑟 = =2.8099 𝑠𝑒𝑐
√5
• Referring to Table-2
𝐾 𝑝 =0.6 𝐾 𝑐𝑟 =18
 

 
5
𝑇 𝑑=0.125 𝑃 𝑐𝑟 =0.35124
 
 Example-2
𝐾 𝑝 =18
   
5 𝑇 𝑑=0.35124
 

• Transfer function of PID controller is thus obtained as

  1
𝐺 𝑐 (𝑠 )=𝐾 𝑝 (1+ +𝑇 𝑑 𝑠)
𝑇𝑖𝑠
  1
𝐺 𝑐 (𝑠 )=18(1+ +0.35124 𝑠)
