blockPIIntegralTime

Identify the integral time of a PI controller

Information

This block calculates the integral time of a PI model as

Ti = 0.35 L + 13 L T2/(T2 + 12 L T + 7 L2),

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