Abstract

PID controller is a controller used to determine precision of a system instrument employing feedback of the system. The component of PID control can be applied simultaneously or singly depends on the response we desired from a plant. However, there is problem in analyzing planned system response; how to get transfer function from a system and analyze it quickly and easily. As of today, control system engineers still encounter difficulty in analyzing system response especially for transfer function using polynomial equations of degree greater than two and employing trial and error method when analyzing response in the simulation. Thus, the writers design a simulator to solve this problem by using Graphical User Interface. The design of the program can be used for polynomial transfer function and installed directly to computer with smaller memory capacity. Hence, it is more user-friendly and not slowing down the operating system of computer. To ensure that the output of simulation correctly generated, we implemented block diagram modeling in simulink. In the future, the result of this research can be implemented as reference to easily understand the characteristics of PID controller especially for polynomials transfer function.
