Presented is an improved version of the PID controller (PIDC) for DC motor control. The PIDC is a very cheap and easy controller to implement and is currently in use in many systems. There are instances whereby higher precision is required and an improved version of the PID can serve. The systems might not be necessary limited to marine systems. Hence, saving the need for more costly redesign. The PIDC proposed was compared with the PID. Results show that the PIDC has superior performance compared to the PID. Hence, it is an indication that the PID could still withstand future developments; that is maintaining its characteristics of simplicity and cheapness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
