Web Application for PI/PID Controllers Tuning Using a Fractional-Order Process Model

This paper shows the development process of a web application for desktop and mobile computers, designed to incor-porate a tuning service for PI/PID controllers for processes whose dynamics were identified through a model with a single fractional parameter. Such application relies on a client-server model based on cloud computing, which allows offloading the computation from the restricted resources, and software dependencies in the mobile environment to a remote server in which tuning and simulation are executed in a shorter time. The model to reach such communication in order to achieve optimal performance of the overall system is also presented.
