Preface
Theindustrialevidenceisthatformanycontrolproblems,particularlythoseoftheprocessindustries,
theProportional,IntegralandDerivative(PID)controlleristhemaincontroltoolbeingused.Forthese
industrial problems,the PID control module is a building block which provides the regulation and
disturbance rejection for single loop, cascade, multi-loop and multi-input multi-output control
schemes. Over the decades, PID control technology has undergone many changes and today the
controllermaybeastandardutilityroutinewithinthesupervisorysystemsoftware,adedicatedhard-
ware process controller unit or an input–output module within a programmable electronic system
whichcanbeusedforcontrolsystemconstruction.
With such a well-developed industrial technology available it is not surprising that an academic
colleagueonlearningthatweplannedabookonPIDcontrolexclaimed,“Surelynot!Isthereanything
lefttobesaid?”.Ofcourse,theshortansweristhattechnologydoesnotstandstill:newsolutioncapabil-
itiesarealwaysemergingandPIDcontrolwillevolvetoo.Indeed,theZiegler–Nicholsruleshavebeen

nologies;noristhisbookadefinitivesurveyof allthathastakenplaceinthedevelopmentsof PID

model-basedmethods.Theyarecharacterisedbytheuseofprocessdata,asinthesubspacemethod,
