Experimental Studies of the Fractional PID and TID Controllers for Industrial Process

High speed and cost effective computing power appoint the possibility of modelling the real world control and signal processing problems with the usage of fractional order calculus tools. This study presents a systematic procedure for a hardware implementation of a fractional controller based on fractional calculus operators using the Grünwald-Letnikov operator, on the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in the LabVIEW environment. The hardware implementation of the fractional controller is tested in a laboratory during the control of chosen processing.
