Versatile PID Controller Tuner and Simulator with Motor Cont

Easily tune and simulate a PID controller for a motor speed system. Supports both automatic pidtuning and manual gain entry.

This function provides a clean, easy-to-use utility for both automatically tuning and simulating a PID controller. It is ideal for students, educators, and engineers learning control systems.

The code is based on the Motor Speed Control problem, a classic example in PID design.

Key Features:

* Dual Mode Operation: Choose between Automatic Tuning (using pidtune) and Manual Tuning (specifying Kp, Ki, Kd).

* Visualization: Generates a figure showing the closed-loop Step Response and the Control Effort (Controller Output) over time.

* Performance Metrics: Automatically calculates and displays key metrics like Settling Time and Overshoot.

System Modeled (Default Plant):

The code uses a standard DC Motor Transfer Function for speed control:

$$P(s) = \frac{1}{0.01s^2 + 0.1s}$$

Getting Started:

matlab <br>% Run with automatic tuning (default) <br>pid_tuner_simulator() <br><br>% Run with manual gains (e.g., Kp=10, Ki=5, Kd=0.1) <br>pid_tuner_simulator(10, 5, 0.1) <br>
