This document proposes new methods for designing P, PI, PD, and PID controllers based on selecting the controller gains based on the plant's parameters. The goal is to achieve acceptable stability and medium fast response. Expressions are proposed for calculating the controller gains for first-order, second-order, and time-delay systems based on the plant's time constant, damping ratio, and natural frequency. The proposed controller design methods are tested on first, second, and first-order systems with time delay using MATLAB/Simulink. The results show the methods can achieve acceptable stability and medium fast response with minimum steady state error by selecting a single tuning parameter.
