RTD-A is one of the new control schemes that substitutes PID controller. It has four tuning parameters which describes the controller characteristics. As compared to PID controller the RTD-A is more transparent about tuning parameters. RTD-A tuning parameters are constrained for simplicity. It is the basic need to design the tool which enables user to deal with RTD-A scheme. This paper introduces toolbox which has basic facilities to deal with RTD-A control scheme. It also includes case study where the toolbox is implemented on two tank liquid level process and pressure control process. The effect of controller tuning parameters on plant output is illustrated with simulations results. © 2017 IEEE.

The RTD-A (robust, tracking, disturbance rejection and aggressiveness) controller is a novel control scheme that substitutes the classical proportional integral derivative (PID) controller. This novel controller’s performance depends on the four controller tuning parameters (θR, θT, θD and θA). The tuning of RTD-A controller is more transparent than classic PID controllers. The RTD-A tuning parameters values lies between ZERO and ONE. Availability of a tool to design optimal parameters for this controller and evaluating the performance on a given system is necessary for the researchers. In this paper, the new simulation tool is presented to deal with the RTD-A control scheme. There are four graphical user interface tools included in the proposed tool and working of each tool is explained in detail. To demonstrate the proposed tool, two examples, which involve a liquid level control application and an air pressure control application, are presented in this work. The performance of the RTD-A controller is compared with PID controller. RTD-A controllers are tuned using optimization algorithms and their performances are observed and analyzed in both cases under deterministic and uncertain conditions.
