Abstract
This paper presents the control of a non-interacting dual tank process having 450 seconds settling time using six different controllers from the first and second controller-generation. The controllers proposed are PID, PIDF, PIDD, PD-I, PDPI and PI-PD. The MATLAB program is used through its optimization toolbox to tune all the controller using the ITAE errorbased criterion with appropriate functional constraints. The effectiveness of the used optimization technique is outlined through the comparison of the step time response for reference input tracking and the time based characteristics of the control system. The best controller among the six ones used in the process control is highlighted.
