Choosing a Control Design Approach

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
  • Graphically tune poles and zeros on design plots, such as Bode, root locus, and Nichols

  • Automatically tune compensators using response optimization (金宝app®Design Optimization™), LQG synthesis, or IMC tuning

Automatically tune controller parameters to meet design requirements you specify, such as setpoint tracking, stability margins, disturbance rejection, and loop shaping (seeTuning Goals)
