Automatic Controller Design - MATLAB version

Running ACD is very easy:
Just enter acdmenu from within MATLAB to open the MATLAB GUI shown on the right.

Basic procedure:

In the following steps you can see the basic procedure how to use ACD in MATLAB

Info: Please click on the pictures to enlarge them.

Step 1:
Select whether to realize the controller as a continuous time (analog) controller or a discrete time (digital) controller

Step 2:
Define the model of the system to be controlled by entering the polynomial coefficients [or (1) read from file, (2) get from IDCON]

Step 3:
Define controller structure and (if desired) further controller loop relevant parameters

Step 4:
Define the desired response behavior graphically. I.e.: You prescribe the dynamics you would like to achieve! This is done by graphically defining a goal and 2 tolerance curves.

Step 5:
Initialize the control design process and press the „Improve Result“ button which yields the desired control loop behavior.

Step 6:
The design results are also shown during the design process. This makes sure you can stop at any time, escpecially when you are comfortable with the result you see.

Step 7:
Graphical representation of the design results as step responses. This allows instantaneous quality checking of the disturbance, reference and control signal behaviors as they will happen lateron in reality within the closed control loop.
