PID controller tuning for network delayed motion control

This paper presents the effect of constant network delay on the performance of a control system (Speed control of DC Motor). Semi distribution and Full distribution are two categories of Networked Control Systems and we will investigate the response of our control system in both of these configurations. By proper optimization of PID controller parameters we can be able to get the optimum performance even in the networked control systems. In the end a speed control experiment is carried out on a real MAXON DC motor with a network delay inserted. Results show that we can control DC motor (a system) in the presence of network delays by intelligently tuning PID controller gains.
