Abstract

The tuning of PID controllers can essentially be posed as theproblem of selecting open-loop zeros such as to obtain a desiredsystem response. In this paper, the general case wherein stableopen-loop system zeros can be cancelled is considered, allowingmore freedom in placing open-loop zeros, as opposed to just twozeros in the case of a PID controller. Subsequently, optimalopen-loop zeros are computed such as to minimize the deviationfrom a desired reference impulse response, while maintaining therelative degree and the type of the reference system, thus givingthe controlled system desired input tracking and disturbancerejection properties.
