title = "Teaching PID tuning with IMC design for dynamic systems using ScicosLab",
abstract = "In industrial processes a control loop problem is how to choose a suitable set of PID parameters because of their influence on the system asymptotic stability. This paper aims to show the advantages of using Free Open Source Software in control education. A PID control algorithm based on Internal Model Control design for linear plants, in the discrete-time domain, is derived. Some examples for simulating typical control systems and a real-time physical plant are given to explore not only the controller tuning, closed-loop dynamics, robustness in the presence of practical constraints, time-varying parameters and disturbances, but also the strategy by using ScicosLab as a suitable free software tool to be used for learning in process control and to integrate with the data acquisition board MCC 1208LS.",
