Interpretation of Data Module no.7 entitled On-Off, P, PI, and PID controller Simulations using Simulink covers the different types of controllers through computer simulations. First part was to analyze the On-Off controller system. Using Matlab Simulink, figure 7.2 was established. To analyze the system, step response, steady state error and the output was obtained. Interpreting the results, the On-Off controller can be best described using its step response as observed. In this response it has two discrete values HI and LOW meaning that it has two trigger points that when triggered will either go HI or LOW or simply On and Off. As been analyzed, this is how the on-off controller works. It has two trigger points that when triggered, the process will execute or the process will be interrupted. Second part was using proportional controller, P established at figure 7.3. In this type of controller, proportional gain is involved as seen in the figure. As with the responses, step response shows a sudden increase reaching a peak of 1 and then decreasing with a parabolic path with observed oscillations upon reaching its steady state. This response was also found similar with the error response. It control output shows a direct parabolic increase and oscillations upon reaching steady state. The proportional gain applied to the system as observed was responsible for its response. This gain sets the response of the system in proportion to the other parameters of the system. Increasing the gain of the system also increases the percent overshoot of the system which in return decreases the error of the system. This is a good response since the overshoot is large therefore the error is small enough to call the system stable in its steady state. Proportional Integral Controller was examined in third part of the module. More complex system is involved in this controller as seen on figure 7.4 which involves the integral gain as well as a transfer function. Something common among the responses were observed which is the oscillations upon reaching the steady state. As the integral gain is increased, settling time also increases. This settling time is the time it takes for the system to experience the steady state. The lesser time, the better response of the system and it was observed at integral gain of 0.5 which yields the least time. PID, Proportional Integral Derivative controller was the last to be analyzed. More complex than the PI controller due to the presence of another component on the system which is the derivative block as seen on figure 7.5. As observed, its step response has an overshoot that is very large with only one peak. Sudden increase and oscillations were also observed on the error response as well as the output. As the gain increases varied output were observed but what matters the most is the settling time which has to be the fastest to be considered the best response among them. In this case at gain equal to 5 is the best due to its fastest settling time to reach steady state.

Conclusion Different types of controller as analyzed from this experiment came to realizations and observations that is necessary for the analysis of any system. These are the most of the gathered observations and conclusions obtained from the experiment. On-Off controller works on discrete response which is HI and LOW, 1 and 0. This signifies the trigger point of the system. Once it is triggered it will either go ON or OFF Proportional controller basically works on proportionality among the system. This system works proportional to the error of the system and this is set by the proportional gain of the system. The gain with the smallest error yields the best response. Proportional Integral Controller is a proportional controller with a bit of innovation which is the addition of the integral gain. This integral gain compensate for the inabilities of the proportional controller itself. With the integral property of the PI controller, the system will cover more application. The integral gain with fastest settling time would definitely yield the best response. Proportional Integral Derivative Controller works better than the prior controllers considering its wide application compared to others discussed. With the derivative action of the controller, inabilities of other controllers are compensated with the derivative action. In this system, the gain that will yield the fastest settling time will be considered the best response. In this response the derivate action was considered which makes the system better than the others.
