More PID Loops Tuned by BESTune

Shown below is the PID control system designed using Simulink. The reference
signal (setpoint) changes from 0 to 4 at time t=50. The PID controller is tuned
using the BESTune technology. This simulation program can be downloaded
by RIGHT (not left) clicking on this link and choose "save as...".(You need
Matlab and Simulink of MathWorks Inc to run this simulation).
