1. Introduction

In industrial automation and control system design, PID controller (proportional integral derivative controller) and PWM controller

(pulse width modulation controller) are two commonly used control strategies. Although they can all achieve precise control of the system,

there are significant differences in principles, applications, control characteristics, and other aspects. This article will provide a detailed comparison

and analysis of PID controllers and PWM controllers to reveal their differences.
2、 Overview of PID Controller

PID controller is a feedback based control algorithm consisting of three control terms: proportional (P), integral (I), and derivative (D).

It measures the difference (i.e. error) between the output value of the controlled object and the expected value, and then processes the error based

on the three control terms P, I, and D to obtain the output of the controller. The principle of PID controller is based on error feedback regulation and has

adaptive ability, which can dynamically adjust control parameters according to actual situations.

principle

The principle of PID controller is based on error feedback regulation. It first measures the output value of the controlled object, and then compares it with the

expected value to obtain the error. Next, the error is processed based on proportional, integral, and derivative control terms to obtain the output of the controller.

Among them, the proportional control term is proportional to the error and is used to quickly reduce the error; The integral control term is mainly used to eliminate

accumulated errors and make the system more stable; The differential control term adjusts the output of the controller based on the rate of error change,

making the system response faster and reducing overshoot.
