New features and changes introduced in this version are
This release provides new tools to streamline the workflow for designing Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) control loops directly in Simulink. In previous releases, designing a compensator was a multistep process that involved several tools.
The new tools support any linearizable control architecture, such as single loops, multiple loops, and cascaded loops. With the new tools, you simply select the blocks you want to tune. Then, the Simulink Control Design software automatically analyzes your model to identify the relevant control loops and opens a preconfigured session of the SISO Design Tool (in the Control System Toolbox™ software). For more information, see Designing Compensators in the Simulink Control Design documentation.
Supported tunable SISO Simulink blocks include Gain, Transfer Function, Zero-Pole-Gain, State-Space, and PID blocks.
In the SISO Design Tool you can
Graphically tune multiple SISO loops in a single GUI.
Gain visual insight into loop interactions and coupling effects.
Focus the analysis on a specific loop in a multiloop design by removing the effect of other feedback loops.
Generate first-cut compensator designs using systematic design algorithms, such as Ziegler-Nichols PID tuning, IMC design, or LQG design.
Optimize linear responses to meet time and frequency-based design constraints (requires the Simulink® Response Optimization™ software).
Directly tune Simulink block parameters, such as PID gains, zero-pole-gain representations, and masked blocks.
Tune continuous or discrete control loops.
Examine the closed-loop response of any portion of a model.
After a design is completed, you can write the tuned parameter values back to your model for verification with the full nonlinear system.
