2.4 Speed Control - Ziegler-Nichols (PID)
Design and analyze a P-, PI- and PID controller for speed control of a DC motor drive. You will develop a model of the system in Matlab, which you can use afterwards to visualize step responses of the plant. The design of the controller follows the Ziegler-Nichols tuning rules. Validate the model by applying a reference step to both the model and the system. Since the control action is limited (i.e. the current you may feed to the motor), you will observe windup effects in the closed-loop systems. This is a very common situation for real plants.
