PID controller parameters adjustment using a single memory neuron

The work presented in this paper presents the use of a single memory neuron to find optimal gains for a PID controller. The adopted strategy with the principal equations is discussed. The efficiency of the proposed method is shown for two usual problems which frequently occur in the industry: a single tank and a boiler and heat exchanger applications. A comparison with the Ziegler–Nichols method is presented in order to prove the effectiveness of our approach.
