The document provides an introduction to PID controllers, detailing the characteristics and effects of Proportional (P), Integral (I), and Derivative (D) controls on system performance. It emphasizes the importance of tuning these parameters to achieve desired system responses while suggesting that not all controllers need to be implemented if simpler combinations suffice. Tips for designing a PID controller are also included, highlighting the iterative process of adjusting control parameters based on system response.

A proportional controller (Kp) will have the effect of reducing the
rise time and will reduce, but never eliminate, the steady-state error.
An integral control (Ki) will have the effect of eliminating the
steady-state error, but it may make the transient response worse.
A derivative control (Kd) will have the effect of increasing the
stability of the system, reducing the overshoot, and improving the transient response. Proportional Control By only employing proportional control, a steady state error occurs.
Proportional and Integral Control
The response becomes more oscillatory and needs longer to settle, the error disappears.

All design specifications can be reached. The Characteristics of P, I, and D controllers
CL RESPONSE RISE TIME OVERSHOOT SETTLING TIME S-S ERROR
Kp Decrease Increase Small Change Decrease
Ki Decrease Increase Increase Eliminate
Kd Small Change Decrease Decrease Small Change
Tips for Designing a PID Controller
1. Obtain an open-loop response and determine what needs to be improved
2. Add a proportional control to improve the rise time 3. Add a derivative control to improve the overshoot 4. Add an integral control to eliminate the steady-state error 5. Adjust each of Kp, Ki, and Kd until you obtain a desired overall response. Lastly, please keep in mind that you do not need to implement all three controllers (proportional, derivative, and integral) into a single system, if not necessary. For example, if a PI controller gives a good enough response (like the above example), then you don't need to implement derivative controller to the system. Keep the controller as simple as possible.
