The unit allows the user to learn the basics about regulation and control of first and second order systems.

• It has three modules: reference signals, PID Controller, first order system and second order system module.

Guided practical exercises shall be included in the manual:

• Response of both first & second order system in time & frequency domain. (Step, Ramp, & sinusoidal responses).
• Structure of a PID controller. (Proportional-Integrative-Derivative blocks).? PID control of a first & second order system in open-loop..
• PID control of a first order system in closed- loop. (Mathematical & Experimental tuning).
• PID control of a first & second order system in closed- loop. (Ziegler - Nichols tuning).
• PID control of a second order system in closed- loop. (Mathematical & Experimental tuning).
