The speed control of separately excited DC motors by PI and PID controller is widely used in industry. A design of controller by applying a several method in analyzing controlled parameter to tune parameter in order to obtain the best process response. A design of PI and PID controller by Modulus Hugging Approach are presented in this paper for testing the performance of controllers in command following control and in disturbance rejection control. From simulation results with LABVIEW, it was found that the controller was fast response and stable, and the effect of disturbance is fast rejected. © Euro Journals Publishing, Inc. 2012.
