When to Use PID Autotuning

PID autotuning lets you tune a PID controller without a parametric plant model or an initial controller design. Deploy the algorithm to tune a controller in real time for a physical plant.

How PID Autotuning Works

To use PID autotuning, configure and deploy a PID autotuner block. The block injects test signals into your plant and tunes PID gains based on an estimated frequency response.

PID Autotuning for a Plant Modeled in Simulink

Use the PID autotuning algorithm to tune against a plant modeled in Simulink while the model is running.

PID Autotuning in Real Time

Deploy the PID autotuning algorithm as a standalone application for real-time tuning against your physical system.

Control Real-Time PID Autotuning in Simulink

Run the PID algorithm against your physical plant while controlling the tuning process in Simulink.

Tune PID Controller in Real Time Using Closed-Loop PID Autotuner Block

Tune a single-loop PID controller in real time by injecting sinusoidal perturbation signals at the plant input and measuring the plant output during an closed-loop experiment.

Tune PID Controller in Real Time Using Open-Loop PID Autotuner Block

Tune a single-loop PID controller in real time by injecting sinusoidal perturbation signals at the plant input and measuring the plant output during an open-loop experiment.
