PID and State Feedback Control of DC Motors
The files include a number of Simulink(R) models with different controllers for a DC motor. There is also a document included that describes the different controllers PID and pole placement with state feedback. The models can serve as a starting point when you develop your control systems in Simulink. The key point is that a text-book controller can almost never be used directly in a real application, there are several additional features needed. There is also an example of a PID controller in C-code and a model that can be used to verify the implementation in Simulink.
To install: Unpack the zip-file in a directory. To run some of the models you also nees the DC Motor library which you can download here: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/11829
