sci.pid-step-response Calculator
Calculates PID controller step response (output vs time) for a given plant model and PID parameters (Kp, Ki, Kd), including overshoot and settling time. PID overshoot > 20% or oscillations indicate too-high Kp or too-low Ti — derivative action (Kd) reduces overshoot at the cost of noise amplification.
Inputs
Kp
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Ki
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Kd
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Setpoint
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Plant Gain
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Plant Tc S
Duration of the process. Make sure units match the rate inputs (seconds, minutes, or hours).
Results
estimated natural freq ωn (rad/s)
The value at the specified point or condition.
damping ratio ζ
The proportional relationship between two quantities.
overshoot (approx %)
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
stability
Measure of how robust the system, structure, or process is to perturbations. Low stability means small changes can cause large deviations.
Ziegler-Nichols guide
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
ITAE optimal ζ
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
