PID Control vs Bang-Bang Control
Developers should learn PID control when working on systems requiring automated regulation, such as robotics, HVAC systems, or process automation in manufacturing meets developers should learn bang-bang control when working on embedded systems, robotics, or automation projects that require basic regulation without complex algorithms, such as temperature control in hvac systems or simple position control in actuators. Here's our take.
PID Control
Developers should learn PID control when working on systems requiring automated regulation, such as robotics, HVAC systems, or process automation in manufacturing
PID Control
Nice PickDevelopers should learn PID control when working on systems requiring automated regulation, such as robotics, HVAC systems, or process automation in manufacturing
Pros
- +It is essential for applications where maintaining a specific state (e
- +Related to: control-systems, feedback-loops
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Bang-Bang Control
Developers should learn bang-bang control when working on embedded systems, robotics, or automation projects that require basic regulation without complex algorithms, such as temperature control in HVAC systems or simple position control in actuators
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in resource-constrained environments where minimal processing power is available, but it is not suitable for applications needing smooth or precise control, like high-performance servo systems
- +Related to: control-theory, pid-control
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use PID Control if: You want it is essential for applications where maintaining a specific state (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Bang-Bang Control if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in resource-constrained environments where minimal processing power is available, but it is not suitable for applications needing smooth or precise control, like high-performance servo systems over what PID Control offers.
