Abstract: This paper discusses the implementation of Nonlinear digital PID controller for position controlled electric drive systems. The drawback with PD controller is that it produces a non aperiodic response, when it encounters a maximum torque limit. To overcome this drawback, the nonlinear PD controller is redesigned so to produce aperiodic response. The applicability of PD controller is limited only for the cases of reference input changes, while along with reference input, if disturbance inputs are also considered, the output results in a steady state error (S.S.E), which is proportional to the disturbance value. To minimize the S.S.E while producing a strong aperiodic response, it is proposed to implement a nonlinear digital PID controller. The proposed scheme in this paper is compared with the linear mode, is implemented in MATLAB and from the obtained results its possible use, limitations and counter measures have been studied.
