# IMC Tuning Rules for PI/PID Controllers

## Overview

Internal Model Control (IMC) is a systematic method for tuning PI/PID controllers based on a process model. Once you've identified system parameters (K and tau), IMC provides controller gains.

## Why IMC?

- **Model-based**: Uses identified process parameters directly
- **Single tuning parameter**: Just choose the closed-loop speed (lambda)
- **Guaranteed stability**: For first-order systems, always stable if model is accurate
- **Predictable response**: Closed-loop time constant equals lambda
