This book presents a unified methodology for the design of PID controllers that encompasses the wide range of different dynamics to be found in industrial processes. This is extended to provide a coherent way of dealing with the tuning of PID controllers. The particular method at the core of the book is the so-called model-reference robust tuning (MoReRT), developed by the authors. MoReRT constitutes a novel and powerful way of thinking of a robust design and taking into account the usual design trade-offs encountered in any control design problem.
The book starts by presenting the different two-degree-of-freedomPID control algorithm variations and their conversion relations as well as the indexes used for performance, robustness and fragility evaluation:the bases of the proposed model. Secondly, the MoReRT design methodology and normalized controlled process models and controllers used in the design are described in order to facilitate the formulation of the different design problems and subsequent derivation of tuning rules. Inlater chapters the application of MoReRT to over-damped, inverse-response, integrating and unstable processes is described. The book ends by presenting three possible extensions of the MoReRT methodology, thereby opening the door to new research developments. In this way, the book serves as a reference and source book for academic researchers who may also consider it as a stimulus for new ideas as well as for industrial practitioners and manufacturers of control systems who will find appropriate advanced solutions to many application problems.

About the Author
He gained industrial experience by working in the fertilizer industry, and crude oil and refined products pipeline industry, and as consulting engineer in industrial processes control.
He has acted as a referee for several international journals and IEEE and IFAC conferences. He is coauthor of several book chapters and over 70 refereed journal and conference papers. His main research interests are robust two-degree-of-freedon PI(D) controllers, controller fragility, process control, and heterogeneous dynamic systems modelling and control with Modelica . He is a registered electrical engineer in Costa Rica and a Senior member of ISA.
Ramon Vilanova received the degree in Computer Science from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain in 1991. The M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees followed also at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in 1993 and 1996 respectively. His Ph.D. dissertation was on Two-Degree-of-Freedom control system analysis for robust tracking properties. From 1992 to 1996 he has been assistant lecturer and from 2006 onwards he is Professor for technical studies of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering at the Department of Telecommunications and Systems Engineering, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain.
He has participated in several European projects as well as research projects funded by the Spanish national government. His teaching activity is centred on Systems Engineering, Industrial ProcessControl and Automation Systems. His main research interests are on controller design for systems with uncertainty, industrial process control with a strong emphasis on PID control, and control theory applications. Recently he focused his research interest on the application of process control techniques to wastewater treatment systems. Acting as a referee for several international journals and conferences, he is co-author of several contributed book chapters and about 100 refereed International Journal/ Conference papers. He is a member of CEA, IEEE and IFAC.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Majestic Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
