Analysis of Typical Feedback Controller and PID Controller Algorithm Principles

Algorithm Principles

The PID controller, also known as a proportional, integral, or differential controller, takes error as input and calculates the output by weighting the

sum of proportional, integral, and differential terms. The PID controller is a very classic controller that is simple and easy to understand, and can be

used without the need for an accurate system model. It has a wide range of applications.
There are many introduction materials about PID online, and there are also many easy to understand explanations.

When I introduce the principles of algorithms here, in addition to qualitative analysis, it will also involve some theoretical knowledge, which requires a

certain level of professional knowledge in “Automatic Control Principles” and “Signals and Systems”. However, it will not be too in-depth, and they are all
simple entry-level knowledge.

Let”s first explain why closed-loop control is necessary, taking controlling the speed of a motor as an example. Before actual control, we may assume that as long as I give the motor an

expected speed of 100 revolutions per minute, it will obediently output the result of 100 revolutions per minute. But what about the actual situation? When the

motor is unloaded, it may still be able to reach the desired speed, but what if a 10 pound load is added to the motor? Its speed may drop to 80 revolutions per

minute, and if the load continues to increase, the speed may continue to decrease.
