Parameter tuning of PID controller for liquid level control of beer filling machine was studied in this paper, which can meet the demand of accurate controlling in beer production and improve the rapidity under the same conditions. Firstly, an improved genetic algorithm was proposed which has been verified by eight kinds of test functions. Simulation results revealed that, in comparation with other modified particle swarm optimization algorithm and modified genetic algorithm, the algorithm proposed in this work is not only capable to improve the convergence speed and precision under the same experimental conditions but also to improve the probability to converge to the optimal value. Finally, the proposed algorithm was applied to the parameter tuning of the PID controller of beer filling machine for liquid level control. Superior property had been obtained, which implied an effective improvement in the rapidity with the premise of steady-state error exclusion.

Aiming at the liquid-level control of double water-tank, this paper discusses the application of fuzzy control theory in liquid-level control system and a cascade control method based on fuzzy self- tuning PID controller is proposed. The design method of this fuzzy self- tuning PID controller is put forward. The fuzzy self- tuning PID controller is designed and the control effect of three kinds control methods, the single loop PID control system, the cascade control system and the cascade control system based on fuzzy self- tuning PID are simulated with Simulink. The analysis and simulation results indicate that the overshoot, the adjusting time and the capacity of anti- disturbance of the liquid-level cascade control system based on fuzzy self- tuning PID controller are superior to those of the general single loop PID control and cascade control.

In this paper, a liquid level control system was designed and fabricated. Control of the liquid level was accomplished by adjusting the sup-ply voltage to a centrifugal pump that is delivering the liquid from a reservoir tank to an upper tank. The liquid level control system was implemented on an ATmega328 microcontroller. Three control strategies are implemented, manual mode, ON/OFF controller, and PID controller. Serial communication is used to establish the communication between the ATmega328 and a computer running MATLAB soft-ware. A graphical user interface was constructed to allow users to interact with the system. The system model is obtained using an experi-mental approach. The obtained model is then used for the design of the PID controller. Experimental results are provided to highlight the performance of the implemented controllers.
