Screenshot of PIDMate identifying a second-order under-damped model from open-loop step-test data.

Why PIDMate ?

  • PIDMate requires minimum control knowledge.

  • The user only brings open- or closed-loop step-test data.

    If the data are not readily available, the user can approximate the behavior using well known approximation methods.

  • No guessing or trial and error to select the best PID parameters.

  • The user has the choice to select between tight and robust control tuning parameters

  • PIDMate guides the user, through color interaction, on what to do next.

  • PIDMate automatically identifies the most appropriate model from a set of predefined models.

  • PIDMate alerts the user of any possible problematic areas of any identified model.

  • PIDMate restricts the selection of tuning parameters based on the identified model to protect the user against mistakenly selecting a PI controller when the process required a PID controller, for example.

Why PIDMate

  1. PIDMate requires minimum process control knowledge.

  2. The user only brings open- or closed-loop step-test data.

  3. PIDMate guides the user, through color interaction, on what to do next.

  4. In identification section, PIDMate alerts the user of any possible problematic areas of any identified model.

  5. PIDMate automatically identifies the most appropriate model from a set of predefined models.
