Detailed Description

Generic PID controller class.

Generic proportiolnal-integral-derivative controller class that keeps track of PID-error states and control inputs given the state of a system and a user specified target state.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PID()

PID	(	double	_p = 0.0,
		double	_i = 0.0,
		double	_d = 0.0,
		double	_imax = 0.0,
		double	_imin = 0.0,
		double	_cmdMax = -1.0,
		double	_cmdMin = 0.0
	)

Constructor, zeros out Pid values when created and initialize Pid-gains and integral term limits:[iMax:iMin]-[I1:I2].

Disable command clamping by setting _cmdMin to a value larger than _cmdMax. Command clamping is disabled by default.

Parameters

[in]	_p	The proportional gain.
[in]	_i	The integral gain.
[in]	_d	The derivative gain.
[in]	_imax	The integral upper limit.
[in]	_imin	The integral lower limit.
[in]	_cmdMax	Output max value.
[in]	_cmdMin	Output min value.
