Comparative study of PID controlled modes on automatic water level measurement system

This paper presents the performances of Proportional (P), proportional-integral (PI) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) modes controller to control an automatic water level control system. This project is developed to verify the performance of water level control system using PID control modes. The measurements of water level control system were collected from process plant which is located at Process Laboratory, UiTM Pulau Pinang. The measurements that have been carried out were analyzed based on three modes controlled that are Proportional, Proportional-Integral and Proportional-Integral-Derivative. The response of each control mode has been determined to identify the time constant, rise time, peak time and percentage overshoot. The evaluation of the output has been carried out and compared by software simulation using MATLAB toolbox. The results indicate that measured data and simulated data were showing a similarity in the responses and time constant.
