I need help on my problem. I managed to tune my PID controller using Ziegler-Nichols continuous cycling method and able to determine my Kp, Ti (integral time) and Td (derivative time). But the problem here is, I do not know how to use it in SIMULINK PID block. Let say my Kc is 500, Ti is 0.02 and Td is 0.01.
In SIMULINK PID controller (function block parameter), the parameter used is P (proportional gain), I (integral gain), D (derivative gain) and N (filter coefficient). May I know how to convert Ti to I and Td to D? What I know is Kc= P, and I used parallel form. Thank you..
You might want to check this file. It seems you tuned your PID in the digital domain but will be using the continuous PID block of Simulink. Am I correct?
You can use pidstd command in MATLAB for this purpose.More

The classic form in s domain of a PI controller is:
H(s)=KR(1+1/sTi)
where is the proportional term and is the integral term. For the Simulink implementation we have the equivalence
KP=KR and Ki=KR/Ti
H(s)=Kp+Ki/s
It was explained in the previous response. This question is important if you use your own conversion from continuos to discrete representation of PID controller together with combination of Anti Reset Windup extension. It is importat also if you derive discrete parameters (which include "samling interval", for controller with first or second order filtration. Very important is transformation between K, Ti, Td to qo, q1, q2 + q3 (if you use PIDD2 representation) in the adaptive control (on line synthesis of comtroller parameters).
The best way to solve this problems is to prepare your own program, without Matlab/Simulink, because there is same wrong conversions from continuos to digital enviroments.
Hi Hany,
In any undergrad control textbooks, you will find that the PID control signal, c(t) in time domain consists of a proportional term, an integral term, and a derivative term, which act on the error signal, e(t) as shown in Fig. 1.
When converted to transfer function via Laplace transform in s-domain, the PID control signal, C(s) is illustrated in Fig. 2. You can clearly see the relationships between Ki and Ti, as well as Kd and Td after factoring out Kp.
In practical engineering, unwanted high-frequency electrical disturbances known as noise may be generated in the electronic components of the measuring instruments (sensors). Because the noise is blended in the error signal (setpoint - measured process variable), the derivative term can greatly amplify the control signal that may lead to control actuator saturation.
To alleviate this problem, a first-order low-pass filter is included in the derivative term in modern PID controller, as shown in Fig. 3 as well as in the Simulink PID controller block. If noise is not considered in your Simulink model, you may set N = inf in the PID controller block at the preliminary design. Other things to consider include:
- disturbance rejection capability,
- gain and phase margins of the PID control system,
- making the controller less noise sensitive.
If the mathematical model for the biomedical system is developed, you may want to compare the performance between Ziegler-Nichols-tuned PID controller and the auto-tuned PID controller (by using PID Controller Tuning feature in the Simulink block).
