PID-Controlled Balance System

A PID-controlled balance rig that holds a reference angle and returns to it after a disturbance.

As a control course project I designed a balance system that holds a reference angle. After an external disturbance, the controller drives the rig back to its reference position.

Work done

  • Deriving the system model and its transfer function
  • Tuning the PID gains through simulation and experiment
  • Measuring and comparing settling time and overshoot
