While linear control techniques for dynamic systems have been widely tested, systems are not linear in practice. This means that controllers must be re-tuned to make them useful in an experimental setup. This article presents the tuning and re-tuning process for two control strategies: a PID and an algorithm based on the choice of overall transfer function controlling a DC permanent magnet motor. The algorithms’ performance is evaluated and some recommendations are made.
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.
