The Application of Dual-PID Regulation Based on Sliding Mode Control in a Tank Artillery Stabilizer

PID is the most common control method in the design of a tank artillery stabilizer which is a position servo control system. Usually, the overshoot conflicts with settling time. This paper presents the dual PID regulating method based on the sliding mode control which can realize both the smaller overshoot and the shorter settling time. The first PID controller focuses on the smallest rise time, and the second PID controller focuses on the overshoot and the settling time. We present how to fix the parameters of the dual PID controllers, and how to switch over between the dual PID controllers. The simulation results verify the practicability of this method. Utilizing this method realizes the artillery position servo control.
