PIDA Controller designed by Kitti´s Method

This paper presents a new method for designing the PIDA (Proportional-Integral-Derivative-Acceleration) Controller for a third order system. The results from simulations shown that all desired specifications can easily met by changing only one parameter. Comparing of the performances of the closed-loop in continuous-time system from this new simple method called ldquoKitti´s Methodrdquo with the design technique proposed by Richard C. Dorf, it shown that not only faster with smaller or no overshoot response can be obtained but also the closed-loop system is robustly stable guaranteed. All merits of Kitti´s Method are also being held with incorporated Root Locus Technique in discrete-time control systems design.
