Tune a Control System Using Control System Tuner

This example shows how to use the Control System Tuner app to tune a MIMO, multiloop

control system modeled in Simulink.

Control System Tuner lets you model any control architecture and specify the structure of

controller components, such as PID controllers, gains, and other elements. You specify

which blocks in the model are tunable. Control System Tuner parameterizes those blocks

and tunes the free parameters system to meet design requirements that you specify, such

as setpoint tracking, disturbance rejection, and stability margins.

Control System Model

This example uses the Simulink model rct_helico. Open the model.

open_system('rct_helico')

The plant, Helicopter, is an 8-state helicopter model trimmed to a steady-state hovering

condition. The state vector x = [u,w,q,theta,v,p,phi,r] consists of:

• Longitudinal velocity u (m/s)
