A simple PID controller tuning strategy for first order plus dead time model

Proportional, integral and derivative (PID) controller has been widely used in many aspects of the industries since its theory was published. In this paper, a systematic approach for the tuning strategy of MacPID controller parameters for first order plus dead time (FOPDT) model is proposed. This method aims to simplify the process PID parameters adjustment and to achieve a desired effect in the same time. Moreover, the proposed rule is compared with other well-known tuning strategies to demonstrate its simplicity and accuracy.
