blockPIDGain

Identify the control gain of a PID controller

Information

This block calculates the control gain of a PID model as

k = 1/kp + (0.2 + 0.45 T/L),

where kp is the gain of the first-order plus time-delay (FOPTD) model, T is the time constant of the FOPTD model, and L is the time delay of the FOPTD model.
