The basics of doing PID design: Part 1 – Classical control theory

Any good athlete will tell you that the key to an exceptional performance is to imagine the task ahead and then to practice until the body can bring this imagined sequence into reality. Similarly, ...

The basics of doing PID design: Part 2 – Building PID predictive controls

The reactive controls we discussed in Part 1 are driven entirely by error. This is a bit like driving a car while looking out the back window. Your mistakes may be ...

Motion Controller Basics

Most often, a proportional-integral-derivative or PID control algorithm can do the job. The output from the PID is applied through the digital to analog converter (DAC) to the amplifier and the motor.
