Abstract :
A wide range of PID tuning software tools is currently available, though the relative merits of each is not always clear. In this paper, the key features of seven (mostly commercial) PID tuning programs are summarized and subsequently the performance of the software tools are compared on a laboratory-scale process. The results indicate that tools which include IMC-based tuning, and support practical PID controller structures (derivative filter) performed especially well
