Feedback Loop Compenstaion Tuning with PID Coefficients

When fine tuning the feedback control loop, one would like to know each parameter in PID how to affect the control loop characteristics without going through complicated description of the above equations. Table 12-2 below helps this and is visually shown in Figure 12-16.

Table 12-2 Tuning with PID Coefficients
Control ParametersImpact on bode plot
KPIncreasing KP
Pushes up the minimum gain between the two zeros.
Moves the two zeros apart.
KIIncreasing KI
Pushes up integration curve at low frequencies.
Gives a higher low frequency gain.
Moves the first zero to the right.
KDIncreasing KD
Shifts the second zero left.
Does not impact the second pole.
αIncreasing α
Shifts the second pole to the right.
Shifts the second zero to the right.
Ts = 1 / fsIncreasing the sampling frequency fs :
Causes the whole Bode plot to shift to right.
