In this video we discuss how to use the Ziegler-Nichols method to choose PID controller gains. In addition to discussing the method and providing a Matlab implementation of the procedure, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the resulting controller on a real system.

Topics and time stamps:
0:00 – Introduction.
5:47 – The Ziegler-Nichols procedure.
17:32 – Example 1: Tuning a PID controller for a transfer function plant.
28:03 – Example 2: Tuning a PID controller for a real system (DC motor).
32:07 – Summary and conclusions.
