TL;DR: A new set of tools, including controller scaling, controller parameterization and practical optimization, is presented to standardize controller tuning, which moves controller tuning in the direction of science.
Abstract: A new set of tools, including controller scaling, controller parameterization and practical optimization, is presented to standardize controller tuning. Controller scaling is used to frequency-scale an existing controller for a large class of plants, eliminating the repetitive controller tuning process for plants that differ mainly in gain and bandwidth. Controller parameterization makes the controller parameters a function of a single variable, the loop-gain bandwidth, and greatly simplifies the tuning process. Practical optimization is defined by maximizing the bandwidth subject to the physical constraints, which determine the limiting factors in performance. Collectively, these new tools move controller tuning in the direction of science.

TL;DR: For a large number of single input-single output (SISO) models typically used in the process industries, the Internal Model Control design procedure is shown to lead to PID controllers, occaslonally augmented with a first-order lag.
Abstract: For a large number of single input-single output (SISO) models typically used in the process industries, the Internal Model Control (IMC) design procedure is shown to lead to PID controllers, occaslonally augmented with a first-order lag. These PID controllers have as their only tuning parameter the closedloop time constant or, equivalently, the closed-loop bandwidth. On-line adjustments are therefore much simpler than for general PID controllers. As a special case, PIand PID-tuning rules for systems modeled by a first-order lag with dead time are derived analytically. The superiority of these rules in terms of both closed-loop performance and robustness is demonstrated.

TL;DR: An infinite horizon controller that allows incorporation of input and state constraints in a receding horizon feedback strategy is developed and guarantees nominal closed-loop stability for all choices of the tuning parameters in the control law.
Abstract: An infinite horizon controller that allows incorporation of input and state constraints in a receding horizon feedback strategy is developed. For both stable and unstable linear plants, feasibility of the contraints guarantees nominal closed-loop stability for all choices of the tuning parameters in the control law. The constraints' feasibility can be checked efficiently with a linear program. It is always possible to remove state constraints in the early portion of the infinite horizon to make them feasible. The controller's implementation requires only the solution of finite-dimensional quadratic programs. >

TL;DR: In this article, a design procedure is introduced which incorporates loop shaping methods to obtain performance/robust stability tradeoffs, and a particular H/sub infinity / optimization problem to guarantee closed-loop stability and a level of robust stability at all frequencies.
Abstract: A design procedure is introduced which incorporates loop shaping methods to obtain performance/robust stability tradeoffs, and a particular H/sub infinity / optimization problem to guarantee closed-loop stability and a level of robust stability at all frequencies. Theoretical justification of this technique is given, and the effect of loop shaping on closed-loop behavior is examined. The procedure is illustrated in a controller design for a flexible space platform. >
