Abstract

This paper investigates the applicability of Iterative Feedback Tuning (IFT) to the level control of a three-tank system laboratory equipment. First two PID controllers are designed in terms of the frequency domain approach. Next IFT is employed to improve the control system performance indices. Digital simulation results and real-time experimental results validate the new control solution.
