Proportional, Integral and derivative (PID) controllers are the most widely-used controller in the chemical process industries because of their simplicity, robustness and successful practical application. Many tuning methods have been proposed for PID controllers. Our purpose in this study is comparison of these tuning methods for single input single output (SISO) systems using computer simulation. Integral of the absolute value of the error (IAE) has been used as the criterion for comparison. These tuning methods have been implemented for first, second and third order systems with dead time and for two cases of set point tracking and load rejection.
