MATLAB How To
Uninstall Toolbox in MATLAB
Toolboxes are managed from the Add-On Manager. To open the Add-On Manager:
Open the "Add-Ons" menu in the Environment section of the MATLAB toolstrip
Click "Add-On Manager" in the Add-Ons menu
Each toolbox has an "Uninstall" button on it. Click the button to uninstall the toolbox.
Uninstall toolboxes via the uninstaller.
Open the Control Panel and open "Programs and Features."
Locate MATLAB in the list of available programs, select it, and click uninstall.
The MATLAB uninstaller will then launch. In the uninstaller, check the boxes for products you wish to uninstall, and uncheck the boxes for products you wish to keep.
Finally, click the "Uninstall" button to uninstall the toolboxes.
Understanding PID Block on Simulink
The main point is not to use the pure derivative in your simulation. If you want to approach the pure derivative as high as possible, set N high, say at 1,000 or 10,000.
The derivative term of the PID controller is never implemented as a pure derivative because that would be extremely sensitive to noise. Hence, a cutoff frequency is added.
So, the D term will act like almost a derivative up to a frequency via
N being the filter coefficient. This also makes it possible to implement a D term using an integrator avoiding a noisy derivative operation.
For N=100, its frequency response is:
Ideally, N will be as low as possible. The drawback of derivative action is ideal derivative has very high gain for high frequency signals. It means the high frequency measurement noise will generate large variations of the control signal. To prevent this situation, the value of filter coefficient āNā is taken to be low (2 < N < 20)
PID in MATLAB
pid
Create PID controller in parallel form, convert to parallel-form PID controller
C = pid(Kp,Ki,Kd,Tf)
creates a continuous-time PID controller with proportional, integral, and derivative gains Kp
, Ki
, and Kd
and first-order derivative filter time constant Tf
:
This representation is in parallel form. When Tf = 0
, the controller has no filter on the derivative action.
pidstd
Create a PID controller in standard form, convert to standard-form PID controller
C = pidstd(Kp,Ti,Td,N)
creates a continuous-time PIDF (PID with first-order derivative filter) controller object in standard form. The controller has proportional gain Kp
, integral and derivative times Ti
and Td
, and first-order derivative filter divisor N
:
When Ti = Inf
, the controller has no derivative action. When Td = 0
, the controller has no derivative action. When N = Inf
, the controller has no filter on the derivative action. $\frac{T_d}{N}= T_f$
PID Tuner
Tune PID controllers.
Command: pidTuner
Open PID Tuner for PID tuning.
The PID Tuner app automatically tunes the gains of a PID controller for a SISO plant to achieve a balance between performance and robustness.
FormāController form in PID Tuner: 'Parallel' - 'Standard'. See pid
and pidstd
.
pidtune
PID tuning algorithm for linear plant model.
C=pidtune(sys,type)
designs a PID controller of type type
for the plant sys
. If type
specifies a one-degree-of-freedom (1-DOF) PID controller, then the controller is designed for the unit feedback loop as illustrated:

PID Controller
Continuous-time or discrete-time PID controller in Simulink. The PID Controller block implements a PID controller (PID, PI, PD, P only, or I only).
FormāController structure: Parallel (default) - Ideal
Parallel. The controller output is the sum of the proportional, integral, and derivative actions, weighted independently by P, I, and D, respectively. For example, for a continuous-time parallel-form PID controller, the transfer function is:
Here N cannot = Inf
. The block does not support N = Inf
(ideal unfiltered derivative).
Compare it with pidstd
form:
Ideal. The proportional gain P acts on the sum of all actions. For example, for a continuous-time ideal-form PID controller, the transfer function is:
