Effect of controller gain

Perform the following tasks.

1. Prepare the following control loop.

Process set point =1

3. PID controllers parameters are: P =0.05, I =0.01 and D =0.

4. Set simulation parameters to 600.

5. Run the simulation.

6. Plot PV vs time.

>> plot(time,PV)

7. Run a second set of PIDs value. P
2
= , I
2
= 0.01 , D

= 0

8. Plot the second process response.

>> figure(2), plot(time,PV)

9. Run a third set of PIDs value. P
3
= , I
3
= 0.01 , D

= 0

10. Plot the second process response.

>> figure(3), plot(time,PV)
11. Combine response of figure(2) and figure(3) into figure(1).

12. Your result should look like this.

13. Save your work for future report writing.

14. Write a one-page report on the effect of PIDs parameters to the process
controllability.

15. Submit your report by the end of lab session.
