Step 1. Create Deployable Simulink Model with PID Autotuner

Block

Using a PID autotuner block for real-time tuning requires creating a Simulink model for

deployment. There are several ways to do so.

Deployable Module with Autotuner Only

In the most basic form, a model for deploying real-time PID autotuning resembles the

following illustration, using either the Closed-Loop PID Autotuner or the Open-Loop PID

Autotuner block. An advantage of this approach is that it lets you switch between and

tune different PID controllers at run time.

Here, the blocks connected to the inputs and outputs of the PID autotuner block

represent hardware interfaces that read or write real-time data for your system. For

example, the Read PID controller output block can be an interface for receiving

serial data, a UDP Receive block for receiving UDP packets, or an interface for receiving

other signals via wireless network. Similarly the blocks for writing data, such as Write
