Loop-Shaping Design
Tune feedback loops for specified bandwidth and stability margins
At the command line, use looptune
to tune
SISO or MIMO feedback loops using a loop-shaping approach. looptune
tunes
a feedback loop to specified bandwidth and stability margins. In Control
System Tuner, use Quick Loop Tuning for loop shaping
of feedback loops.

Loop-Shaping Basics
- Set Up Your Control System for Tuning with looptune
To uselooptune
, create a parameterized representation of your controller and a numeric model of your plant. - Structure of Control System for Tuning With looptune
looptune
tunes the feedback loop illustrated below to meet default requirements or requirements that you specify. - Tune MIMO Control System for Specified Bandwidth
Tune a fixed-structure MIMO control system to achieve a specified loop crossover frequency usinglooptune
. - Tune Feedback Loops Using looptune
Thelooptune
command facilitates loop shaping design by automatically generating the tuning requirements. - How Tuned Simulink Blocks Are Parameterized
Both Control System Tuner and theslTuner
interface automatically assign predefined parameterizations to certain Simulink® blocks. - Tune Control Systems in Simulink
At the command line, usesystune
orlooptune
to automatically tune control systems modeled in Simulink. - Building Tunable Models
Build a control-system model for tuning withsystune
orlooptune
using numeric LTI models for fixed elements and control design blocks for the tunable elements. - Mark Signals of Interest for Control System Analysis and Design
Analysis points allow you to access to internal signals, perform open-loop analysis, or specify requirements for controller tuning in systems modeled in either MATLAB® or Simulink. - Using Parallel Computing to Accelerate Tuning
Multiple optimization starts can improve control-system tuning results. If you have Parallel Computing Toolbox™, you can accelerate multi-start tuning strategies.
Loop-Shaping in Control System Tuner
- Quick Loop Tuning of Feedback Loops in Control System Tuner
Tune a control system to meet specified bandwidth and stability margins in Control System Tuner, without explicitly creating tuning goals that capture these requirements.
