Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a system where the transfer function indicates a large delay, which PID tuning method would you apply and justify your choice.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider which method factors in system dynamics best.

Question 2

Simulate the tuning of a PID controller using MATLAB, applying both the Ziegler-Nichols and manual tuning techniques. Compare the effectiveness of the two methods based on response time and steady-state error.

πŸ’‘ Hint: What metrics will you analyze in your results?
