Tuning Control Systems in Simulink

Simulink Control Design provides a comprehensive set of tools for tuning single-input single-output (SISO) control loops directly in Simulink. You can use any control architecture that is linearizable. Tunable Simulink SISO blocks include Gain, Transfer Function, Zero-Pole-Gain, State-Space, and PID. Simulink Control Design automatically identifies the relevant control loops for the tuned blocks and launches a preconfigured session of the SISO Design Tool.

You can use the SISO Design Tool to:

• Graphically tune multiple continuous or discrete SISO loops
• Observe loop interactions and coupling effects while tuning parameters
• Generate first-cut compensator designs using systematic design algorithms such as Ziegler-Nichols PID tuning, IMC design, or LQG design
• Optimize the control loops to meet time-and frequency-based design requirements (requires Simulink Response Optimization)
• Directly tune Simulink block parameters, including PID gains, zero-pole-gain representations, and masked blocks
• Examine the closed-loop response of any portion of a model
• Write the tuned parameter values back to your Simulink model for verification with the full nonlinear system

When using Simulink Control Design with Simulink Response Optimization (available separately), you can optimize control loop performance to meet time- and frequency-based requirements (yellow portions of plots). Click on image to see enlarged view.
