PID Parameter Tables for the Control of standard Systems optimized with PSO

Optimized parameters for PID controllers are of significant value in current and future control engineering. In this publication, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is applied to minimize the integral of time weighted absolute error (ITAE) and integral of absolute error (IAE). For a large number of standard transfer functions, pre- calculated tables were generated that provide the optimized controller parameters. This publication provides tables for the control of time-delayed systems and overshooting second-order systems. Since additional parameters such as time constants, system damping, or controller output limits are also taken into account, these tables can directly be used to control a wide range of systems. Furthermore the correct application of the tables is demonstrated in an example.
