Process Identification and PID Control enables students and engineers to understand the essential concepts of feedback control, process identification, autotuning, and design of real feedback controllers, especially PID controllers. Sung, Lee, and Lee introduce the fundamentals of process control and dynamics, analysis tools (Bode plot, Nyquist plot), PID controllers and tuning, controller designs, along with the advances control strategies which have been widely used in industry. Included are numerous numerical examples and MATLAB codes to aid the reader in solving real problems. Readers will be able to design their own controllers, implement them, and confirm performance in real-time using real-time virtual processes.
