Control System Design and Tuning

Tune PID controllers and other control architectures automatically or interactively

Simulink® Control Design™ provides several approaches to tuning Simulink blocks that implement control solutions. You can use these techniques and tools to:

  • Automatically tune feedback loops containing PID Controller or PID Controller (2DOF) blocks.

  • Design and implement advanced control features to achieve adaptive control, disturbance compensation and constraint enforcement.

  • Graphically or automatically tune SISO feedback loops containing any tunable Simulink blocks.

  • Tune Simulink models of control systems of any fixed structure to meet high-level design goals such as reference tracking, disturbance rejection, and stability margins.

For more information about choosing among these approaches, see Choose a Control Design Approach.
