We call vb(t) the back electromotive force (back emf); Kb is a constant of
proportionality called the back emf constant; and d0m(t)/dt = wm(t) is the
angular velocity of the motor. Taking the Laplace transform, we get

The relationship between the armature current, ia(t), the applied armature
voltage, ea(t), and the back emf, vb(t), is found by writing a loop equation
around the Laplace transformed armature circuit (see Figure 8.1(a)):

To find the transfer function of the motor, we first substitute Eqs. (8.2) and
(8.5) into (8.4), yielding

Now we must find Tm(s) in terms of 0m(s) if we are to separate the input and
output variables and obtain the transfer function, 6m(s)/Ea(s).
Dm is the equivalent viscous damping at the armature and includes both the
armature viscous damping and, as we will see later, the load viscous
damping

A PID controller continuously calculates an error value e(t) as the difference between a
desired setpoint and a measured process variable and applies a correction based
on proportional, integral, and derivative terms. The controller attempts to minimize the error over
time by adjustment of a control variable u(t) such as the position of a control valve, a damper, or
the power supplied to a heating element, to a new value determined by a weighted sum:
D accounts for possible future trends of the error, based on its current rate of change.
Where
Kp is the proportional gain, a tuning parameter, Ki is the integral gain, a tuning
parameter,
Kd is the derivative gain, a tuning parameter,
is the error (SP is the setpoint, and PV(t) is the process variable),
t is the time or instantaneous time (the present), is the variable of
integration
Equivalently, the transfer function in the Laplace domain of the PID controller is
The proportional term produces an output value that is proportional to the current error value.
The proportional response can be adjusted by multiplying the error by a constant Kp, called the
proportional gain constant.
Steady-state error
Because a non-zero error is required to drive it, a proportional controller generally operates with
a so-called steady-state error. Steady-state error (SSE) is proportional to the process gain and
inversely proportional to proportional gain.
Integral term
The contribution from the integral term is proportional to both the magnitude of the error and the
duration of the error. The integral in a PID controller is the sum of the instantaneous error over
time and gives the accumulated offset that should have been corrected previously.
Derivative term
The derivative of the process error is calculated by determining the slope of the error over time
and multiplying this rate of change by the derivative gain Kd. The magnitude of the contribution
of the derivative term to the overall control action is termed the derivative gain, Kd. The
