.Ziegler-Nichols method
163163
Another tuning method is formally known as the 'Ziegler-Nichols
164-
method', introduced by John G. Ziegler and Nathaniel B. Nichols. It
165-
starts in the same way as the method described before: first set the I
166-
and D gains to zero and then increase the P gain and expose the loop to
167-
external interference for example knocking the motor axis to cause it
168-
to move out of equilibrium in order to determine critical gain and
169-
period of oscillation until the output of the loop starts to oscillate.
170-
Write down the critical gain (K~c~) and the oscillation
171-
period of the output (P~c~). Then adjust the P, I and D
172-
controls as the table shows:
