Abstract

In this paper, a new method for tuning the parameters of PID controller for Textile Web Tension Control (TWTC) using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique is presented. The robustness of the proposed controller is investigated through parameter variations and changing the textile web cross-section area. The simulation results show that the applied PSO-based PID controller has achieved good performance even in wide range of cross-section area. A comparative study is made between a traditional PID controller and the proposed one. The performance is shown to be better in case of the PSO-based PID controller.
