Procedure:
1. Run the SIMULINK module: [Link] to open the above flowsheet.
2. Set p = 10, kp = 1 and the other transfer functions as shown in the figure with Kc = 0.5, i = 1 and D = 0.25. Introduce a unit step change in the set
point (double click the Step in set point icon) and run the SIMULINK model using final simulation time: 100 units of time.
3. Run the file: Fplot.m to plot the recorded output and save the MATLAB figure in a specified directory.
Required:
1. What will be the expected effect of the PID controller action?
2. At constant I =1.0 and D =0.25 increase the controller gain starting with Kc = 1, 3, 5 and observe the oscillatory behaviour of the controlled
variable.
3. At constant I =1.0 and Kc = 1, start with the value of D = 0.25 and increase it to 0.5, 1.5 and record the response for each case.
4. Comment on your results.
5. What is the advantage of using the derivative controller in addition to the PI controller?

Kc = 0.5, i = 1 and D = 0.25.
