Overview

This book focuses on those functionalities that can provide significant improvements in Proportional--integral--derivative (PID) performance in combination with parameter tuning. In particular, the choice of filter to make the controller proper, the use of a feedforward action and the selection of an anti-windup strategy are addressed. The book gives the reader new methods for improving the performance of the most widely applied form of control in industry.

From the reviews: Visioli's book covers the newest techniques of PID controllers in many areas. There are clearly explained and vividly demonstrated. It is evident that Visioli himself has contributed significantly to many of the topics covered. The book has also an excellent list of references to recent literature... ...Visioli should be congratulated for his effors and novel ways of treating PID control. IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 53 (2008), 2217-2218, (Reviewer: Heikki N. Koivo) The text of Practical PID Control provides a nice review of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) design and implementation... This book will provide the user with a good reference to identify and implement an optimized PID design, including one reference to use of fuzzy logic in variable set point weighting design. The text provides several mechanisms for achieving good results from your application using PID control, which in some cases may be the only method available to the user. When there are other options, however, a modified PID can also provide an effective means of achieving good performance without excessive engineering time. This text, while focusing on the former, provides several references to latter 'fusion' approaches for achieving good control. What the text may lack in depth is made up for in coverage of the topic of practical PID control. The text as written would be a helpful reference to the undergraduate practitioner with a classical controls background or a graduate-level controls engineer with implementation experience.
