Self-tuning controller A self-tuning controller offers some advantages in situations where the controller requires continuous tuning because of the disturbance behaviour of the process as one example. According to Figure 1, the self-tuning controller has three parts: the controller with tunable parameters, parameter estimator, and tuning algorithm. Parameter estimation continuously calculates parameters in a
