PID Control

Intro to Control Systems

This module covers proportional (P), integral (I), derivative (D), PI, PD and PID control. The characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of these basic controller components and their combinations are discussed. Interactive plots, examples and steps to create a MapleSim simulation are included to enhance the learning experience.
