@pnachtwey Deflecting on poor word choice and technicalities has actually giving the question more credit. I was asking (slightly facetiously) and out of curiosity... a possible answer being: "obviously you can't select a third each, then why would all the tuning methods have been...

It was a simple question that you've failed to grasp, not an attempt at spreading misinformation. If you don't understand what I'm getting at, it's your problem. I really have tried my best to be as clear as possible. Goodbye.

Maybe it’s almost a non-question I asked. As ControlsGuy25 says, “there’s tuning and there’s tuning!” And as you say, “You can use trial and error until you get something acceptable.” … This was really the bit I was focussing on in terms of real-world situations where not everyone is a controls...

I would NEVER suggest using Z-N. It should be removed from the knowledge base. System identification and pole placement are a good start. I know, my point is that you can. I can think of a few systems where that simply won't work because you have NO idea where the closed loop poles and zeros...

Get real pnachtwey I wasn't lucky, it's how its designed. Unless you can tell me otherwise. Come on... spring mass damper, this isn't a physics class with a mass dangling off a spring. For those who haven't done a degree module in control engineering they might not be able to calculate...

Thanks. As a general starting point it seems to me that using 1/3 of the band of each parameter (PID) means you’re going to get a stable enough system for many applications that don't need to work for such high tolerances. I can see there's an argument that if you were tuning, for example, a...
