The effectiveness of cascaded PID controller systems for industrial heating furnace
temperature control is assessed in this research. It is evident from the literature on control theory
that the ideal PID controller is no longer suitable for controlling non-linear phenomena, such as
temperature. For managing these nonlinear processes, a PID controller in a cascaded design is
preferable to a traditional single loop control system. It is limited in its ability to select the optimal
PID improvements, though. In order to determine the optimal PID gain values in cascaded form,
this study evaluates the performance using standard tuning methods. Finding the system's dynamic
performance characteristics in each scenario allowed for the performance examination of several
algorithms. MATLAB/Simulink is used to model the complete system, According to the
simulation results, the suggested cascaded PID design may lead to robust dynamic performance
and rapid reaction.
