Abstract

Despite the application of advanced control technique to improve the performance of electro-hydraulic position control, PID control scheme seems able to produce satisfactory result. PID is preferable in industrial applications because it is simple and robust. The main problem in its application is to tune the parameters to its optimum values. This study will look into an optimization of PID parameters using Nelder-Mead approach for electro-hydraulic position control system. The electro-hydraulic system was represented by an ARX model structure obtained through MATLAB System Identification Toolbox. Second-order and third-order model of the system had been evaluated. Simulation and real-time studies show that ARX211 produced the best response in terms of transient speed and RMSE performance criteria even though the model has the least percentage of best fit.
