Title:
Tuning of PID controller with Controller settings.
Objectives:
i. Perceive the purpose of PID controller.
ii. Detect the method to tune a PID controller with controller settings.
Apparatus Required:
✓ MS-15 DC Motor Module
✓ AS-3 Command Potentiometer
✓ CLIO Interface Module with PC connection leads
✓ System Power supply
✓ 4mm Connection Leads
✓ PC running VCL (Visual Control Laboratory) Software
Procedure:
• Start VCL and load CA06PE09.
Output Span - S0
• Measure the output span - the difference between the initial value and steady
statevalue of the output.
• Output span S0 = 3.2 V
• Measure the input span - the difference between the initial value and steady state
valueof the input.
Input Span Si = 3.0 V
• Line of Maximum Slope - Time Constant τ
• Using Line B and Slope controls, determine the line of maximum slope. It might
behelpful to change channel 4 Magnify to 1/2 and Time to x2.
τ= 0.19 s
Time Delay T
T= 0.1 s
Controller Settings:
• The controller settings are then calculated from the table below:
1.78125
1.603 1.32
2.1375 0.8
0.0125
Ziegler-Nichols Setting (Table # 1)
• Calculate (and hence PB %), TI and TD and enter the values in Table 2.
• Unfreeze the display, restore the controller to PID and use the values calculated as
thecontroller settings.
• Usually both integral and derivative time constants need to be increased.
• Try setting TI to 0.5τ and TD to 0.5TI, leaving PB as calculated. This gives a
muchless oscillatory response.
Conclusion:
In this experiment we have learned what vis the purpose of the PID controller and why
weused PID controllers in industry for control purpose.
