    Abstract:
    Abstract Commercial controllers with a proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control algorithm were introduced back in the 1940s. As it has been widely reported elsewhere, 80 years later PID is still the most common control algorithm used in the processes industry. In this article, fundamentals of PID control are outlined. Starting from the elemental constituent control actions that are at the core of the basic control law, additional considerations, functionalities, and implementation facts are also introduced. Afterward, special attention is placed on the considerations regarding PID‐based feedback control loops. Although the central concept of PID control can be gleaned from an examination of how these three terms are blended to form a control signal, the intelligent application of PID control in any given case requires an understanding of the process dynamics at hand as well of the achievable feedback properties.

    The Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) Controller are widely used for process control. Using PID controller efficiently and the optimum tuning of its parameters is a significant research area. Computational Analysis and Control theory acts as powerful scientific tools for tuning the PID constants.

    This paper is introducing new categories for PID tuning methods. In this category most recent PID tuning techniques are considered entitle of PID optimal PID control signal matching group. The paper is concerned with the design of predictive PID controllers, which is an optimal PID control signal-matching method. The predictive PID controller, which has similar features to the model based predictive controller (MPC), is described. A PID type control structure is defined which includes prediction of the outputs and the recalculation of new set points using the future set point data. The optimal values of the PID gains are calculated using the values of gains calculated from an unconstrained generalised predictive control algorithm. Simulation studies demonstrate the performance of the proposed controller and the results are compared with conventional PID and generalized predictive control solutions.

    PID control (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) has been widely researched and studied topic of automatic control for decades. While other, more sophisticated control methods have been introduced, PID control has still remained as a bread and butter control method for most control applications. This paper presents some fundamental, elegant and general observations on SISO (Single-Input-Single-Output) PID control without knowledge on the process model, or in some cases, with using only the minimum knowledge of the process model.
