Control System Toolbox™ provides several approaches to tuning control systems. Use the following table to determine which approach best supports what you want to do.
PID Tuning | Classical Control Design | Multiloop, Multiobjective Tuning | |
---|---|---|---|
Architecture | PID loops with unit feedback (1-DOF and 2-DOF) |
Control systems having SISO controllers in common single-loop or multiloop configurations (seeFeedback Control Architectures) | Any architecture, including any number of SISO or MIMO feedback loops |
Control Design Approach | Automatically tune PID gains to balance performance and robustness |
|
Automatically tune controller parameters to meet design requirements you specify, such as setpoint tracking, stability margins, disturbance rejection, and loop shaping (seeTuning Goals) |
Analysis of Control System Performance | Time and frequency responses for reference tracking and disturbance rejection |
Any combination of system responses | Any combination of system responses |
