Continuous.Tests.PID

Combined test harness for the PID controller.

Four PID configurations are exercised in one component, each closing a loop around its own Plant but driven by the same shared unit-step setpoint (signal):

  • pidFull — full PID (with_I = true, with_D = true)

  • pidPI — PI (with_D = false)

  • pidPD — PD (with_I = false)

  • pidP — P only (with_I = false, with_D = false)

The four closed-loop responses (plant*.y) and controller outputs (pid*.y) are compared in a single test case rather than in separate components.

Usage
