Control System Toolbox 8.5

Designing Multi-Loop Control Systems

Control System Toolbox supports established methods for MIMO design, including LQG and pole placement algorithms. It also provides tools for designing observers, including Kalman filters.

You can use the SISO Design Tool from within Simulink Control Design to tune multi-loop controllers consisting of several SISO loops. You can close SISO loops sequentially, visualize loop interactions, and iteratively tune each loop for best overall performance. You can then export the tuned parameters to Simulink and further validate the design through nonlinear simulation.
