PID Control for Electric Motors with MATLAB Implementation

This article provides a comprehensive explanation of PID control principles and methodologies for electric motors. PID control represents a widely adopted control strategy in motor control applications, achieving precise motor speed regulation through systematic adjustment of motor inputs and outputs. The implementation requires MATLAB environment setup - please download and install MATLAB using the provided download link to execute the control programs. The PID algorithm implementation typically involves three main components: proportional control for immediate error response, integral control for accumulated error elimination, and derivative control for system damping. Key MATLAB functions used in this implementation may include pid() for controller creation and step() for system response analysis. After completing the installation, you can begin learning and practicing motor PID control through hands-on code examples that demonstrate real-time parameter tuning and system performance evaluation.
