Abstract

Abstract Tuning of three-term controllers, a widely popular device for process control, has always been accomplished by semi-empirical rules. The aim of this paper is to establish a link between PID regulators and optimal feedback design for linear systems. After showing how the optimal control theory can be tailored to the design of optimal regulators, the results are extended to the discrete-time case and the feasibility of a microprocessor implementation is assessed with the aid of benchmark tests
