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.
