 What is the AutotunerPID Toolkit?

The AutotunerPID Toolkit has been developed as a didactical support to Control Engineering courses. It has been mainly developed by William Spinelli (see my personal web site), currently a PhD student at the Dipartimento di Elettronica e Informazione (Politecnico di Milano) .

It allows to experiment with well established tuning methods, to understand the various phases that form an autotuning procedure, and the relationships among them, obtaining the capability of conducting an autotuning session.

Moreover, it teaches how to select a particular autotuning method based on the characteristics of the process and compare the results of different methods a posteriori, both from the standpoint of the obtained results and of the experiment (i.e., considering facts like the tuning time, the process upset, and so forth), learning to diagnose the results of a tuning session and, when possible, to obtain from it some further process information.

 Learning About the AutotunerPID Toolkit

See the online documentation of the AutotunerPID Toolkit. The documentation include a description of the purposes of this Toolkit, an overview of fundamental PID autotuning concepts, a description of how the steps required to perform a simulation and the sample outputs of a typical autotuning session.

The current release of the AutotunerPID Toolkit is 1.0 (the first one!!). It requires MATLAB 6.5 (or above), Simulink 5.0 (or above) and Control System Toolbox.

A version compatible with MATLAB 5.3 will be briefly released...
