Disturbance Analysis Virtual Laboratory for PID Controllers with Higher Derivative Degrees

The paper presents a simulation tool built in Matlab/Simulink environment that allows to perform a detailed analysis of a new designed controller belonging to the PID control family that has been developed just recently. The simulation tool can run offline or online in the form of a virtual laboratory. The analysis is focused on the disturbance influence in the control circuit. The graphical results include not only time responses but performance measures and noise characteristics as well. Generally, the simulation tool provides a comfortable way to get familiar with this new control design technique that extends classical PID control by derivatives of higher degrees and thus it is suitable for all engineers, students and potential users from the control area to investigate the qualities of the new control technique.
