Study Case: PID Control for Teleoperated Vehicles

Feedback control systems today are essential for almost all processes in industries where there is a high demand for precision and control. Control systems as PIDs are mostly used in PLCs because they are robust and have modules that facilitate this type of work. This research proposes to carry out the implementation of a PID with PIC18 microcontrollers, considering this a good option for its low cost in the market, for its free development software and its high-level programming language. Using an experimental design, lab testing, and a quantitative approach, authors conclude that a block diagram with its respective transfer function calculated using Ziegler and Nichols tuning method in PIC18 microcontroller is possible as an option for teleoperated vehicles.
