%T PID multivariable tuning system using BLT method for distillation column %I Institute of Physics Publishing %A T.R. Biyanto %A N.A. Sordi %A N. Sehamat %A H. Zabiri %V 458 %X Most of the process industries are handling Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO) system by using the classical Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller although there are wide researches in advanced control techniques. However, finding a good value for the controller parameters might be very challenging and best tuning approach need to be considered to obtain a better performance. In this paper, biggest-log modulus (BLT) tuning method is adopted to tune decentralized PID controller based on 2x2 MIMO system and the effectiveness of the tuning method is observed. A comparative study on the settling time, overshoot and integral absolute error (IAE) are evaluated when a step change in u1, u2 and disturbance is introduced to the system. The simulation result demonstrates that BLT method has a better performance for a disturbance change response compared to set point change response. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. %K Controllers; Distillation columns; MIMO systems; Process engineering; Three term control systems; Two term control systems, Advanced control; Comparative studies; Controller parameter; Decentralized PID controller; Integral absolute errors; Multi-input multi-output system; Process industries; Proportional integral derivative controllers, Proportional control systems %D 2018 %R 10.1088/1757-899X/458/1/012052 %N 1 %O cited By 5; Conference of 5th International Conference on Process Engineering and Advanced Materials, ICPEAM 2018 ; Conference Date: 13 August 2018 Through 14 August 2018; Conference Code:143521 %J IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering %L scholars9466
