PID controller

PID controller

A basic python and C++ implementation of a simple PID controller.

The class implements a PID controller, however, should you decide to use either a PI or PD controller just set the Kd or Ki parameter, respectively, to zero.

Implemented methods (python implementation):

• output: returns the calculated PID output given a measurement of the y signal.
• antiWindUp: applies anti-wind up to the PID integral block. Maximum thresholds can be set when initializing the controller.
• transferFunction: returns a transfer function for further block integration or frequency domain analysis.

Examples

Check the file controllerPID_test.py for a simple test.
