Abstract: Based on the describing function model of dead-zone and saturation and the method of determining the stabilizing region of PID controller for linear system, an approach is presented for the design of PID controller for a given nonlinear system with dead-zone and saturation. The new equivalent inverse Nyquist plots are given for the different sinusoidal input amplitudes of nonlinear component, and the parameters of PID controller are selected from the intersection sets of stabilizing controller parameter region for different sinusoidal input amplitudes. The controller can effectively mitigate the nonlinear effect. For unstable open-loop system, a prefilter is added on the reference input. The proposed approach can be used to stabilize the closed-loop system with nonlinearity. The simulation examples demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.
