example methods , systems , computer media , and so on are now described with reference to the drawings , where like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout . in the following description for purposes of explanation , numerous specific details are set forth in order to facilitate thoroughly understanding the methods , systems , computer readable media , and so on . it may be evident , however , that the methods , systems and so on can be practiced without these specific details . in other instances , well - known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to simplify description . controllers typically are not scalable and thus are not portable between applications . however , controllers can be made portable via scaling as described in the example systems and methods provided herein . in general , a plant mathematically represented by a transfer function g p ( s ), ( where s is the laplace transform variable ) can be scaled according to : where ω p is the plant frequency scale and k is the gain scale , to represent a large number of plants that differ from the original plant by a frequency scale , ω p , and a gain scale , k . then , a corresponding controller g c ( s ) for the plant g p ( s ) can be scaled according to : g c ( s )=( 1 / k ) g c ( s / ω p ). ( 17 ) consider a unit feedback control system 200 with the plant g p ( s ) 210 and controller g c ( s ) 220 , as shown in fig2 . assume that g c ( s ) 220 was designed with desired command following , disturbance rejection , noise rejection , and stability robustness . now , consider a similar class of plants kg p ( s / ω p ). for given ω p , using example systems and methods described herein , a suitable controller can be produced through frequency scaling . thus define ω p as the frequency scale and k as the gain scale of the plant g p ( s / ω p ) with respect to g c ( s )=( 1 / k ) g c ( s /( ω p ). ( 19 ) referring to fig3 , an example system 300 that employs frequency scaling is illustrated . the system 300 includes a controller identifier 310 that can identify a known controller associated with controlling a known plant . the controller may have one or more scaleable parameters ( e . g ., frequency , gains ) that facilitate scaling the controller . the controller identifier 310 may access a controller information data store 330 and / or a plant information data store 340 to facilitate characterizing one or more properties of the known controller . by way of illustration , the controller identifier 310 may identify the frequency scale of the controller ( ω c ) and / or the frequency scale ( ω p ) and transfer function ( s ) of a plant controlled by the known controller . the controller information data store 330 may store , for example , controller class information and / or information concerning scaleable controller parameters . similarly , the plant data store 349 may store , for example , plant information like transfer function shape , frequency scale , and so on . the system 300 may also include a controller scaler 320 that produces a scaled controller from the identified scaleable parameter . the scaler 320 may make scaling decisions based , for example , on information in the controller information data store 330 ( e . g ., controller class , scaleable parameters , frequency scale ), information in the plant information data store 340 ( e . g . plant class , plant transfer function , frequency scale ), and so on . while illustrated as two separate entities , it is to be appreciated that the identifier 310 and scaler 320 could be implemented in a single computer component and / or as two or more distributed , communicating , co - operating computer components . thus , the entities illustrated in fig3 may communicate through computer communications using signals , carrier waves , data packets , and so on . similarly , while illustrated as two separate data stores , the controller information data store 330 and the plant information data store 340 may be implemented as a single data store and / or distributed between two or more communicating , co - operating data stores . aspects of controller scaling can be related to filter design . in filter design , with the bandwidth , the pass band , and stop band requirements given , filter design is straight forward . an example filter design method includes finding a unit bandwidth filter , such as an nth order chebeshev filter h ( s ), that meets the pass band and stop band specifications and then frequency scaling the filter as h ( s / ω 0 ) to achieve a bandwidth of ω 0 . revisiting the system 200 in fig2 , to facilitate understanding frequency scaling and time scaling as related to controllers , denote ω p 0 as the frequency scale of the plant g p ( s / ω p ) with respect to g p ( s ) 210 , and τ p = 1 / ω p , the corresponding time scale . then denote k as the gain scale of the plant kg p ( s ) with respect to g p ( s ) 210 . with these definitions in hand , differences in example industrial control problems can be described in terms of the frequency and gain scales . for example , temperature processes with different time constants ( in first order transfer functions ), motion control problems with different inertias , motor sizes , frictions , and the like can be described in terms of the defined frequency and gain scales . these scales facilitate paying less attention to differences between controllers and applications and more attention to a generic solution for a class of problems because using the scales facilitates reducing linear time invariant plants , proper and without a finite zero , to one of the following example forms : 1 s + 1 , 1 s , 1 s 2 + 2 ⁢ ξ ⁢ ⁢ s + 1 , 1 s ⁡ ( s + 1 ) , 1 s 2 , 1 s 3 + ξ 1 ⁢ s 2 + ξ 2 ⁢ s + 1 , … ( 22 ) through gain and frequency scaling . for example , the motion control plant of g p ( s )= 23 . 2 / s ( s + 1 . 41 ) is a variation of a generic motion control plant g p ( s )= 1 / s ( s + 1 ) with a gain factor of k = 11 . 67 and ω p = 1 . 41 . equation ( 22 ) describes many example industrial control problems that can be approximated by a first order or a second order transfer function response . additionally , equation ( 22 ) can be appended by terms like : s + 1 s 2 + 2 ⁢ ξ ⁢ ⁢ s + 1 , s 2 + 2 ⁢ ξ z ⁢ s + 1 s 3 + ξ 1 ⁢ s 2 + ξ 2 ⁢ s + 1 , … ( 24 ) to include systems with finite zeros . thus , while a set of examples is provided in equations ( 22 ) and ( 24 ), it is to be appreciated that a greater and / or lesser number of forms can be employed in accordance with the systems and methods described herein . furthermore , in some examples , scaling can be applied to reflect the unique characteristics of certain problems . for example , a motion control system with significant resonant problems can be modeled and scaled as k s ω p ⁢ ( s ω p + 1 ) ⁢ ( s ω rz ) 2 + 2 ⁢ ξ z ⁢ s ω rz + 1 ( s ω rp ) 2 + 2 ⁢ ξ p ⁢ s ω rp + 1 ⁢ ⁢ 1 s ⁡ ( s + 1 ) ⁢ ( s m ) 2 + 2 ⁢ ξ z ⁢ s m + 1 ( s n ) 2 + 2 ⁢ ξ p ⁢ s n + 1 ( 25 ) where the resonant frequencies satisfy ω rp = nω p , ω rz = mω p . problems with multiple frequency scales , ω p , nω p , and mω p , can be referred to as multi - scale problems . with these definitions in hand , an example controller scaling technique is now described . assume g c ( s ) is a stabilizing controller for plant g p ( s ), and the loop gain crossover frequency is ω c , then the controller g c ( s )= g c ( s / ω p )/ k ( 26 ) will stabilize the plant g p ( s )= kg p1 ( s / ω p ). the new controller new loop gain will have a bandwidth of ω c ω p , and substantially the same stability margins of note that the new closed - loop system has substantially the same frequency response shape as the original system except that it is shifted by ω p . thus , feedback control properties like bandwidth , disturbance and noise rejection are retained , as is the stability robustness , from the previous design , except that frequency ranges are shifted by ω p . now that controller scaling has been described , pid scaling can be addressed . according to the frequency scale principle discussed above , and assuming the original controller for g p ( s ) is a pid , e . g ., g c ⁡ ( s ) = k p + k i s + k d ⁢ s ( 28 ) then the new controller for the plant kg p ( s / ω p ) is obtained from ( 28 ) as g c ⁡ ( s ) = ( k p + k i ⁢ ω p s + k d ⁢ s ω p ) / k ( 29 ) that is , the new pid gains , k p , k i , and k d are obtained from the original ones as to demonstrate the practical application and tangible results possible from the method described above , in the following example , consider a plant that has a transfer function of g p ⁡ ( s ) = 1 s 2 + s + 1 . and the pid control gains of k p = 3 , k i = 1 , and k d = 2 . now , assume the plant has changed to g p ⁡ ( s ) = 1 ( s 10 ) 2 + s 10 + 1 the new gains are calculated from equation ( 30 ) as k p = 3 , k i = 10 , k d = 0 . 2 . thus , rather than having to build , design , and tune the controller for the plant g p ⁡ ( s ) = 1 ( s 10 ) 2 + s 10 + 1 from scratch , the pid designer was able to select an existing md appropriate for the pid class and scale the pid . thus , frequency scaling facilitates new systems and methods for controller design that take advantage of previously designed controllers and the relationships between controllers in related applications . in one example , the controller is a pid controller . the pid controller may have a plant frequency scale ω p as a scaleable parameter . in another example , the method includes producing the scaled controller . for example , a computer component may be programmed to perform the frequency scaled controlling . additionally , computer executable portions of the method may be stored on a computer readable medium and / or be transmitted between computer components by , for example , carrier waves encoding computer executable instructions . in view of the exemplary systems shown and described below , example methodologies that are implemented will be better appreciated with reference to the flow diagrams of fig4 , 5 and 13 . while for purposes of simplicity of explanation , the illustrated methodologies are shown and described as a series of blocks , it is to be appreciated that the methodologies are not limited by the order of the blocks , as some blocks can occur in different orders and / or concurrently with other blocks from that shown and described . moreover , less than all the illustrated blocks may be required to implement an example methodology . furthermore , additional and / or alternative methodologies can employ additional , not illustrated blocks . in one example , methodologies are implemented as computer executable instructions and / or operations , stored on computer readable media including , but not limited to an application specific integrated circuit ( asic ), a compact disc ( cd ), a digital versatile disk ( dvd ), a random access memory ( ram ), a read only memory ( rom ), a programmable read only memory ( prom ), an electronically erasable programmable read only memory ( eeprom ), a disk , a carrier wave , and a memory stick . in the flow diagrams , rectangular blocks denote “ processing blocks ” that may be implemented , for example , in software . similarly , the diamond shaped blocks denote “ decision blocks ” or “ flow control blocks ” that may also be implemented , for example , in software . alternatively , and / or additionally , the processing and decision blocks can be implemented in functionally equivalent circuits like a digital signal processor ( dsp ), an asic , and the like . a flow diagram does not depict syntax for any particular programming language , methodology , or style ( e . g ., procedural , object - oriented ). rather , a flow diagram illustrates functional information one skilled in the art may employ to program software , design circuits , and so on . it is to be appreciated that in some examples , program elements like temporary variables , initialization of loops and variables , routine loops , and so on are not shown . turning to fig5 , a flowchart for an example method 500 for producing a controller is illustrated . the method 500 includes , at 510 , identifying a controller g c ( s ) that stabilizes a plant g p ( s ) where the controller has a frequency ω c and , at 520 , producing a controller g c ( s ) by scaling the controller g c ( s ) according to g c ( s )= g c ( s / ω p )/ k , where the controller g c ( s ) will stabilize the plant g p ( s ) kg 1 ( s / ω p ), where ω p is the frequency scale of the plant g p ( s / ω p ), and where k is the gain scale of the plant kg p ( s ). in one example , the controller is a pid controller of the form g c ⁡ ( s ) = k p + k l s + k d ⁢ s , where k p is a proportional gain , k i is an integral gain , and k d is a derivative gain . in another example , g c ⁡ ( s ) = ( k p + k l ⁢ ω p s + k d ⁢ s ω p ) / k . in yet another example , the pid gains k p , k i , and k d are obtained from the k p , k i and k d according to k _ p = k p k , k _ l = k i ⁢ ω p k , k _ d = k d k ⁢ ⁢ ω p . it is to be appreciated that this example method can be employed with linear and / or non - linear pids . applying a unit step function as the set point , the responses of an original controller and a scaled controller are shown in fig6 , demonstrating that the response of the scaled controller is substantially the same as the response of the original controller , but scaled by τ = 1 / ω 0 . the gain margins of both systems are substantially infinite and the phase margins are both approximately 82 . 372 degrees . the 0 db crossover frequency for both systems are 2 . 3935 and 23 . 935 r / s , respectively . thus , the pid scaled by the example method is demonstrably appropriate for the application . while the method described above concerned linear pids , it is to be appreciated that the method can also be applied to scaling nonlinear pids . for example , pid performance can be improved by using nonlinear gains in place of the linear ones . for example , u = k p g p ( e )+ k i ∫ g i ( e ) dt + k d g d ( ė ) ( 31 ) where g p ( e ), g i ( e ), and g d ( e ) are nonlinear functions . the non - linear pids can be denoted npid . nonlinearities are selected so that the proportional control is more sensitive to small errors , the integral control is limited to the small error region — which leads to significant reduction in the associate phase lag — and the differential control is limited to a large error region , which reduces its sensitivity to the poor signal to noise ratio when the response reaches steady state and the error is small . the npid retains the simplicity of pid and the intuitive tuning . the same gain scaling formula ( 30 ) will also apply to the npid controller when the plant changes from g p ( s ) to kg p ( s / ω p ). scaling facilitates concentrating on normalized control problems like those defined in ( 22 ). this facilitates selecting an appropriate controller for an individual problem by using the scaling formula in ( 26 ) and the related systems and methods that produce tangible , results ( e . g ., scaled controller ). this further facilitates focusing on the fundamentals of control , like basic assumptions , requirements , and limitations . thus , the example systems , methods , and so on described herein concerning scaling and parameterization can be employed to facilitate optimizing individual solutions given the physical constraints of a problem . working with controllers can be simplified if they can be described in terms of a smaller set of parameters than is conventionally possible . typically , a controller ( and possibly an observer ) may have many ( e . g . 15 ) parameters . the systems and methods described herein concerning parameterization facilitate describing a controller in terms of a single parameter . in one example , controller parameterization concerns making controller parameters functions of a single variable , the controller bandwidth ω c . considering the normalized plants in ( 22 ) and assuming desired closed - loop transfer functions are : ω c s + ω c , ω c 2 ( s + ω c ) 2 , ω c 3 ( s + ω c ) 3 , ( 32 ) then for second order plants , the damping ratio can be set to unity , resulting in two repeated poles at − ω c . the same technique can also be applied to higher order plants . applying pole - placement design to the first and second order plants in ( 22 ), a set of example ω c parameterized controllers are obtained and shown in table i . information concerning the plants and the related controllers can be stored , for example , in a data store . loop shaping design can also be parameterized . loop - shaping refers to manipulating the loop gain frequency response , l ( jω )= g p ( jω ) g c ( jω ), as a control design tool . one example loop - shaping method includes converting design specifications to loop gain constraints , as shown in fig7 and finding a controller g c ( jω ) to meet the specifications . as an example of loop shaping , considering the plants of the form g p ( s ), in table i , the desired loon gain can be characterized as l ⁡ ( s ) = g p ⁡ ( s ) ⁢ g c ⁡ ( s ) = ( s + ω 1 s ) m ⁢ 1 s ω c + 1 ⁢ 1 ( s ω 2 + 1 ) n ( 33 ) ω 1 & lt ; ω 2 , ω 2 & gt ; ω c , m ≧ 0 , and n ≧ 0 ( 34 ) are selected to meet constrains shown in fig7 . in the example , both m and n are integers . in one example , default values for ω 1 and ω 2 are once appropriate loop gain constraints are derived and the corresponding lowest order l ( s ) in ( 33 ) is selected , the controller can be determined from g c ⁡ ( s ) = ( s + ω 1 s ) m ⁢ 1 s ω c + 1 ⁢ 1 ( s ω 2 + 1 ) n ⁢ g p - 1 ⁡ ( s ) ( 36 ) 1 s ω c + 1 ⁢ 1 ( s ω 2 + 1 ) n ⁢ g p - 1 ⁡ ( s ) ⁢ ⁢ is ⁢ ⁢ proper . ( 37 ) this design is valid for plants with a minimum phase . for a non - minimum phase plant , a minimum phase approximation of g p − 1 ( s ) can be employed . a compromise between ω 1 and the phase margin can be made by adjusting ω 1 upwards , which will improve the low frequency properties at the cost of reducing phase margin . a similar compromise can be made between phase margin and ω 2 . turning to fig4 , an example method 400 for scaling a controller is illustrated . the method 400 includes , at 410 , identifying a known controller in a controller class where the known controller controls a first plant . the method 400 also includes , at 420 , identifying a scaleable parameter for the known controller . at 430 , the method 400 includes identifying a desired controller in the controller class , where the desired controller controls a second , frequency related plant and at 440 , establishing the frequency relation between the known controller and the desired controller . at 450 , the method 400 scales the known controller to the desired controller by scaling the scaleable parameter based , at least in part , on the relation between the known controller and the desired controller . practical controller optimization concerns obtaining optimal performance out of existing hardware and software given physical constraints . practical controller optimization is measured by performance measurements including , but not limited to , command following quickness ( a . k . a . settling time ), accuracy ( transient and steady state errors ), and disturbance rejection ability ( e . g ., attenuation magnitude and frequency range ). example physical constraints include , but are not limited to , sampling and loop update rate , sensor noise , plant dynamic uncertainties , saturation limit , and actuation signal smoothness requirements . conventional tuning relies , for example , on minimizing a cost function like h 2 and h co . however , conventional cost functions may not comprehensively reflect the realities of control engineering , and may , therefore , lead to suboptimal tuning . for example , one common cost function is mathematically attractive but can lead to suboptimal controller tuning . thus , optimizing other criteria , like ω c are considered . a typical industrial control application involves a stable single - input single - output ( siso ) plant , where the output represents a measurable process variable to be regulated and the input represents the control actuation that has a certain dynamic relationship to the output . this relationship is usually nonlinear and unknown , although a linear approximation can be obtained at an operating point via the plant response to a particular input excitation , like a step change . evaluating performance measurements in light of physical limitations yields the fact that they benefit from maximum controller bandwidth ω c . if poles are placed in the same location , then ω c can become the single item to tune . thus , practical pid optimization can be achieved with single parameter tuning . for example , in manufacturing , a design objective for an assembly line may be to make it run , as fast as possible while minimizing the down time for maintenance and trouble shooting . similarly , in servo design for a computer hard disk drive , a design objective may be to make the read / write head position follow the setpoint as fast as possible while maintaining extremely high accuracy . in automobile anti - lock brake control design , a design objective may be to have the wheel speed follow a desired speed as closely as possible to achieve minimum braking distance . in the three examples , the design goal can be translated to maximizing controller bandwidth ω c . there are other industrial control examples that lead to the same conclusion . thus , ω c maximization appears to be a useful criterion for practical optimality . furthermore , unlike purely mathematical optimization techniques , ω c optimization has real world applicability because it is limited by physical constraints . for example , sending ω c to infinity may be impractical because it may cause a resulting signal to vary unacceptably . as an example of how physical limitations may affect ω c optimization , consider digital control apparatus that have a maximum sampling rate and a maximum loop update rate . the maximum sampling rate is a hardware limit associated with the analog to digital converter ( adc ) and the maximum loop update rate is software limit related to central processing unit ( cpu ) speed and the control algorithm complexity . typically , computation speeds outpace sampling rates and therefore only the sampling rate limitation is considered . as another example , measurement noise may also be considered when examining the physical limitations of ω c optimization . for example , the ω c is limited to the frequency range where the accurate measurement of the process variable can be obtained . outside of this range , the noise can be filtered using either analog or digital filters . plant dynamic uncertainty may also be considered when examining the physical limitations of ω c optimization . conventional control design is based on a mathematical description of the plant , which may only be reliable in a low frequency range . some physical plants exhibit erratic phase distortions and nonlinear behaviors at a relative high frequency range . the controller bandwidth is therefore limited to the low frequency range where the plant is well behaved and predictable . to safeguard the system from instability , the loop gain is reduced where the plant is uncertain . thus , maximizing the bandwidth safely amounts to expanding the effective ( high gain ) control to the edge of frequency range where the behavior of the plant is well known . similarly , actuator saturation and smoothness may also affect design . although using transient profile helps to decouple bandwidth design and the transient requirement , limitations in the actuator like saturation , nonlinearities like backlash and hysteresis , limits on rate of change , smoothness requirements based on wear and tear considerations , and so on may affect the design . for example , in a motion control application with a significant backlash problem in the gearbox , excessively high bandwidth will result in a chattering gearbox and , very likely , premature breakdown . thus , ω c optimization , because it considers physical limitations like sampling rate , loop update rate , plant uncertainty , actuator saturation , and so on , may produce improved performance . in one controller optimization example , assume that the plant is minimum phase , ( e . g ., its poles and zeros are in the left half plane ), that the plant transfer function is given , that the ω c parameterized controllers are known and available in form of table i , that a transient profile is defined according to the transient response specifications , and that a simulator 800 of closed - loop control system as shown in fig8 is available . it is to be appreciated that the closed loop control system simulator 800 can be , for example , hardware , software or a combination of both . in one example , the simulator incorporates limiting factors including , but not limited to , sensor and quantization noises , sampling disturbances , actuator limits , and the like . with these assumptions , one example design method then includes , determining frequency and gain scales , ω p and k from the given plant transfer function . the method also includes , based on the design specification , determining the type of controller required from , for example , table i . the method also includes selecting the g c ( s , ω c ) corresponding to the scaled plant in the form of table i . the method also includes scaling the controller to 1 k ⁢ g c ⁡ ( s ω p , ω c ) , digitizing g c ( s / ω p , ω c )/ k and implementing the controller in the simulator . the method may also include setting an initial value of ω c based on the bandwidth requirement from the transient response and increasing ω c while performing tests on the simulator , until either one of the following is observed : a . control signal becomes too noisy and / or too uneven , or b . indication of instability ( oscillatory behavior ) consider an example motion control test bed for which the mathematical model of the motion system is ÿ = (− 1 . 41 { dot over ( y )}+ 23 . 2 t d )+ 23 . 2 u ( 38 ) where y is the output position , u is the control voltage sent to the power amplifier that drives the motor , and t d is the torque disturbance . an example design objective for the example system could be rotating the load one revolution in one second with no overshoot . thus , the physical characteristics of the example control problem are : g p ⁡ ( s ) = k s ω p ⁢ ( s ω p + 1 ) , k = 11 . 67 ⁢ ⁢ and ⁢ ⁢ ω p = 1 . 41 . g _ p ⁡ ( s ) = 1 s ⁡ ( s + 1 ) . u = k p ( r − y )+ k d (− { dot over ( y )} ) g cl ⁡ ( s ) = ω c 2 ( s + ω c ) 2 . considering the plant gain scale of k and the frequency scale of ω p , the pd gains are then scaled as k p = ω c 2 ` k = . 086 ⁢ ⁢ ω c 2 ⁢ and ⁢ k d = 2 ⁢ ⁢ ω c - 1 k ⁢ ⁢ ω p = . 061 ⁢ ⁢ ( 2 ⁢ ⁢ ω c - 1 ) . to avoid noise corruptions of the control signal , an approximate differentiator s ( s 10 ⁢ ⁢ ω c + 1 ) 2 is used where the corner frequency 10ω c is selected so that the differentiator approximation does not introduce problematic phase delays at the crossover frequency . using a conventional root locus method , the one second settling time would require a closed - loop bandwidth of 4 rad / sec . the example single parameter design and tuning methods described herein facilitate determining that an ω c of 20 rad / sec yields optimal performance under the given conditions . a comparison of the two designs is shown in fig9 . note that a step disturbance of 1 volt is added at t = 3 seconds to test disturbance rejection . finally , a trapezoidal transient profile is used in place of the step command . the results are shown in fig1 . { dot over ( x )} ( t )= ax ( t )+ bu ( t ), y ( t )= cx ( t )+ du ( t ) ( 5 ) is often used to find its estimate , { circumflex over ( x )}. here r is the setpoint for the output to follow . the state feedback gain k and the observer gain l are determined from the equations : eig ( a + bk )= λ c ( s ) and eig ( a + lc )= λ o ( s ) where λ c ( s ) and λ o ( s ) are polynomials of s that are chosen by the designer . usually the k , and l have many parameters and are hard to tune . the parameterization of state feedback and state observer gains are achieved by making λ c ( s )=( s + ω c ) n and λ o ( s )=( s + ω o ) n where ω x and ω o are bandwidth of the state feedback system and the state observer , respectively , and n is the order of the system . this simplifies tuning since parameters in k and l are now functions of ω c and ω o respectively . parameterization of linear active disturbance rejection controller ( ladrc ) for a second order plant some controllers are associated with observers . conventionally , second order systems with controllers and observers may have a large number ( e . g ., 15 ) tunable features in each of the controller and observer . thus , while a design method like the hann method is conceptually viable , its practical implementation is difficult because of tuning issues . as a consequence of the scaling and parameterization described herein , observer based systems can be constructed and tuned using two parameters , observer bandwidth ( ω 0 ) and controller bandwidth ( ω c ), state observers provide information on the internal states of plants . state observers also function as noise filters . a state observer design principle concerns how fast the observer should track the states , ( e . g ., what should its bandwidth be ). the closed - loop observer , or the correction term l ( y − ŷ ) in particular , accommodates unknown initial states , uncertainties in parameters , and disturbances . whether an observer can meet the control requirements is largely dependent on how fast the observer can track the states and , in case of eso , the disturbance f ( t , x 1 , x 2 , w ). generally speaking , faster observers are preferred . common limiting factors in observer design include , but are not limited to dependency on the state space model of the plant , sensor noise , and fixed sampling rate . dependency on the state space model can limit an application to situations where a model is available . it also makes the observer sensitive to the inaccuracies of the model and the plant dynamic changes . the sensor noise level is hardware dependent , but it is reasonable to assume it is a white noise with the peak value 0 . 1 % to 1 % of the output . the observer bandwidth can be selected so that there is no significant oscillation in its states due to noises . a state observer is a closed - loop system by itself and the sampling rate has similar effects on the state observer performance as it does on feedback control . thus , an example model independent state observer system is described . observers are typically based on mathematical models . example systems and methods described herein can employ a “ model independent ” observer as illustrated in fig1 . for example a plant 1820 may have a controller 1810 and an observer 1830 . the controller 1810 may be implemented as a computer component and thus may be programmatically tunable . similarly , the observer 1830 may be implemented as a computer , component and thus may have scaleable parameters that can be scaled programmatically . furthermore , using analogous scaling and parameterizing as described herein , the parameters of the observer 1830 can be reduced to ω o . therefore , overall optimizing of the system 1800 reduces to tuning ω c and ω o . where y and u are output and input , respectively , and w is an input disturbance . here both parameters , a and b , are unknown , although there is some knowledge of b , ( e . g ., b 0 ≈ b , derived from the initial acceleration of y in step response ). rewrite ( 39 ) as ÿ = a { dot over ( y )}− by + w +( b − b 0 ) u + b 0 u = f + b 0 u ( 40 ) where f =− a { dot over ( y )}− by + w +( b − b 0 ) u . here f is referred to as the generalized disturbance , or disturbance , because it represents both the unknown internal dynamics , − a { dot over ( y )}− by +( b − b 0 ) u and the external disturbance w ( t ). if an estimate of f , { circumflex over ( f )} can be obtained , then the control law reduces the plant to ÿ =( f −{ circumflex over ( f )})+ u 0 which is a unit - gain double integrator control problem with a disturbance ( f −{ circumflex over ( f )}). { x . 1 = x 2 x . 2 = x 3 + b 0 ⁢ u x . 3 = h y = x 1 ( 41 ) with x 3 = f added as an augmented state , and h ={ dot over ( f )} is seen as an unknown disturbance . now f can be estimated using a state observer based on the state space model ⁢ e = [ 0 0 1 ] ( 42 ) now the state space observer , denoted as the linear extended state observer ( leso ), of ( 42 ) can be constructed as which can be reconstructed in software , for example , and l is the observer gain vector , which can be obtained using various methods known in the art like pole placement , where [ ] t denotes transpose . with the given state observer , the control law can be given as : u = - z 3 + u 0 b 0 ( 45 ) which is an unit gain double integrator that can be implemented with a pd controller u 0 = k p ( r − z 1 )− k d z 2 ( 47 ) where r is the setpoint . this results in a pure second order closed - loop transfer function of g cl = 1 s 2 + k d ⁢ s + k p ( 48 ) where ω c and ζ are the desired closed loop natural frequency and damping ratio . ζ can be chosen to avoid oscillations . note that − k d z 2 , instead of k d ({ dot over ( r )}− z 2 ), is used to avoid differentiating the setpoint and to make the closed - loop transfer function a pure second order one without a zero . this example illustrates that disturbance observer based pd control achieves zero steady state error without using the integral part of a pid controller . the example also illustrates that the design is model independent in that the design relies on the approximate value of b in ( 39 ). the example also illustrates that the combined effects of the unknown disturbance and the internal dynamics are treated as a generalized disturbance . by augmenting the observer to include an extra state , it is actively estimated and canceled out , thereby achieving active disturbance rejection . this leso based control scheme is referred to as linear active disturbance rejection control ( ladrc ) because the disturbance , both internal and external , represented by f , is actively estimated and eliminated . the stability of controllers can also be examined . let e i = x i − z i , i = 1 , 2 , 3 . combine equation ( 43 ) and ( 44 ) and subtract the combination from ( 42 ). thus , the error equation can be written : ⁢ a c = a - lc = [ - β 1 1 0 - β 2 0 1 - β 3 0 0 ] ( 50 ) and e is defined in ( 42 ). the leso is bounded input , bounded output ( bibo ) stable if the roots of the characteristic polynomial of a e are in the left half plane ( lhp ) and h is bounded . this separation principle also applies to ladrc . the ladrc design from ( 43 ) to ( 46 ) yields a bibo stable closed - loop system if the observer in ( 43 ) and ( 44 ) and the feedback control law ( 46 ) for the double integrator are stable , respectively . this is shown by combing equations ( 45 ) and ( 47 ) into a state feedback form of u =( 1 / b 0 )[− k p − k d − 1 ] z = fz , where f =( 1 / b 0 )[− k p − k d − 1 ]. thus , the closed - loop system can be represented by the state - space equation of [ x . z . ] = [ a b _ ⁢ ⁢ f lc a - lc + b _ ⁢ ⁢ f ] ⁡ [ x z ] + [ [ b _ e ] [ b _ o ] ] ⁡ [ r h ] ( 52 ) where b = b / b 0 , and which is bibo stable if its eigenvalues are in the lhp . by applying row and column operations , the closed - loop eigenvalues since r is the bounded reference signal , a nontrivial condition on the plant is that h ={ dot over ( f )} is bounded . in other words , the disturbance f must be differentiable . ω o parameterization refers to parameterizing the eso on observer bandwidth ω o . consider a plant ( 42 ) that has three poles at the origin . the related observer will be less sensitive to noises if the observer gains in ( 44 ) are small for a given ω o . but observer gains are proportional to the distance for the plant poles to those of the observer . thus the three observer poles should be placed at − ω o , or equivalently , λ ( s )= s 3 + β 1 s 2 + β 2 s + β 3 =( s + ω o ) 3 ( 53 ) it is to be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that equations ( 53 ) and ( 54 ) are extendable to nth order eso . similarly , the parameterization method can be extended to the luenberger observer for arbitrary a , b , and c matrices , by obtaining { ā , b , c } as observable canonical form of { a , b , c }, determining the observer gain , l , so that the poles of the observer are at − ω o and using the inverse state transformation to obtain the observer gain , l , for { a , b , c }. the parameters in l are functions of ω o . one example procedure for ω o optimization based design is now described . given tolerable noise thresholds in the observer states , increase ω o until at least one of the thresholds is about to be reached or the observer states become oscillatory due to sampling delay . in general , the faster the eso , the faster the disturbance is observed and cancelled by the control law . a relationship between ω o and ω c can be examined . one example relationship is equation ( 55 ) applies to a state feedback control system where ω c is determined based on transient response requirements like the settling time specification . using a transient profile instead of a step command facilitates more aggressive control design . in this example there are two bandwidths to consider , the actual control loop bandwidth ω c and the equivalent bandwidth of the transient profile , ω c . part of the design procedure concerns selecting which of the two to use in ( 55 ). since the observer is evaluated on how closely it tracks the states and ω c is more indicative than ω c on how fast the plant states move , ω c is the better choice although it is to be appreciated that either can be employed . furthermore , taking other design issues like the sampling delay into consideration , a more appropriate minimum ω o is found through simulation and experimentation as an example for optimizing ladrc is now presented . one example ladrc design and optimization method includes designing a parameterized leso and feedback control law where ω o and ω c are the design parameters . the method also includes designing a transient profile with the equivalent bandwidth of ω c and selecting an ω o from ( 56 ). the method then includes setting ω c = ω o and simulating and / or testing the ladrc in a simulator . the method also includes incrementally increasing ω c and ω o by the same amount until the noise levels and / or oscillations in the control signal and output exceed the tolerance . the method also includes incrementally increasing or decreasing ω c and ω o individually , if necessary , to make trade - offs between different design considerations like the maximum error during the transient period , the disturbance attenuation , and the magnitude and smoothness of the controller . in one example , the simulation and / or testing may not yield satisfactory results if the transient design specification described by ω c is untenable due to noise and / or sampling limitations . in this case , control goals can be lowered by reducing ω c and therefore ω c and ω o . it will be appreciated by one skilled in the art that this approach can be extended to luenberg state observer based state feedback design . by way of illustration , reconsider the control problem example associated with equations ( 32 ), but apply the ladrc in ( 43 ) to ( 48 ). note that b = 23 . 2 for this problem , but to make the design realistic , assume the designer &# 39 ; s estimate of b is b 0 = 40 . now rewrite the plant differential equation ( 38 ) as ÿ = (− 1 . 41 { dot over ( y )}+ 23 . 2 t d )+( 23 . 2 − 40 ) u + 40 u = f + 40 u z . = [ -

z 3 40 and u 0 = k p ⁡ ( r - z 1 ) - k d ⁢ z 2 with k d = 2 ⁢ ⁢ ξ ⁢ ⁢ ω c , where ω c is the sole design parameter to be tuned . a trapezoidal transient profile is used with a settling time of one second , or ω c = 4 . from ( 56 ), ω o is selected to be 40 rad / sec . the ladrc facilitates design where a detailed mathematical model is not required , where zero steady state error is achieved without using the integrator term in pid , where there is better command following during the transient stage and where the controller is robust . this performance is achieved by using a disturbance observer . example performance is illustrated in fig1 . it will be appreciated by one skilled in the art that observer based design and tuning techniques can be scaled to plants of arbitrary orders . for a general nth order plant with unknown dynamics and external disturbances , y ( n ) = f ( t , y ,{ dot over ( y )}, . . . , y ( n - 1 ) , u ,{ dot over ( u )}, . . . u ( n - 1 ) , w )+ bu ( 57 ) the observer can be similarly derived , starting from the state space equation { x . 1 = x 2 x . 2 = x 3 … x . n = x n + 1 + b 0 ⁢ u x . n + 1 = h y = x 1 ( 58 ) with x x + 1 = f added as an augmented state , and h ={ dot over ( f )} mostly unknown . the observer of ( 43 ) in its linear form with the observer gain ( 59 ) { z . 1 = z 2 -

1 ) ( t ) z n + 1 ( t )→ f ( t , y ,{ dot over ( y )}, . . . , y ( n - 1 ) , u ,{ dot over ( u )}, . . . u ( n - 1 ) , w ) ( 61 ) the control law can also be similarly designed as in ( 45 ) and ( 47 ), with u = - z n + 1 + u 0 b 0 ( 62 ) which reduces the plant to approximately a unit gain cascaded integrator plant y ( n ) =( f − z n + 1 )+ u 0 ≈ u 0 ( 63 ) u 0 = k p ( r − z 1 )− k d 1 z 2 − . . . − k d n - 1 z n ( 64 ) where the gains are selected so that the closed - loop characteristic polynomial has n poles at − ω c , s n + k d n - 1 s n - 1 + . . . + k d 1 s + k p =( s + ω c ) n ( 65 ) ω c is the closed - loop bandwidth to be optimized in tuning . the ω o optimization can similarly be applied using s n + β 1 s n -

1 ) ( 0 )= 0 ) and then assuming f ( 0 )= 0 . the method includes applying a set of input signals and determining the initial slope of the response : { dot over ( y )}( 0 + ), ÿ ( 0 + ), . . . . the method also includes determining the slope y ( i ) ( 0 + ) that is proportional to u ( 0 ) under various tests , ( e . g ., y ( l ) ( 0 + )= ku ( 0 )). then the method includes setting n = i + 1 and b 0 = k . auto - tuning concerns a “ press button function ” in digital control equipment that automatically selects control parameters . auto - tuning is conventionally realized using an algorithm to calculate the pid parameters based on the step response characteristics like overshoot and settling time . auto - tuning has application in , for example , the start up procedure of closed - loop control ( e . g ., commissioning an assembly line in a factory ). auto - tuning can benefit from scaling and parameterization . in some applications , dynamic changes in the plant during operations are so severe that controller parameters are varied from one operating point to another . conventionally , gain - scheduling is employed to handle these situations . in gain - scheduling , the controller gains are predetermined for different operating points and switched during operations . additionally , and / or alternatively , self - tuning that actively adjusts control parameters based on real time data identifying dynamic plant changes is employed . common goals of these techniques are to make the controller parameter determination automatic , given the plant response to a certain input excitation , say a step function and to maintain a consistent controller performance over a wide range of operations , ( e . g . making the controller robust ). example systems , methods and so on described herein concerning scaling and parameterization facilitate auto - scaling model based controllers . when a transfer function model of a plant is available , the controller can be designed using either pole placement or loop shaping techniques . thus , example scaling techniques described herein facilitate automating controller design and tuning for problems including , but not limited to , motion control , where plants are similar , differing only in dc gain and the bandwidth , and adjusting controller parameters to maintain high control performance as the bandwidth and the gain of the plant change during the operation . in the examples , the plant transfer functions can be represented as g p ( s )= kg p ( s / ω p ), where g p ( s ) is given and known as the “ mother ” plant and k and ω p are obtained from the plant response or transfer function . assuming the design criteria are similar in nature , differing only in terms of the loop gain bandwidth , ω c , the controller for similar plants can be automatically obtained by scaling the given controller , g c ( s , ω c ), for g p ( s ). this is achieved by combining the controller scaling , defined in equation ( 26 ), and ω c - parameterization to obtain the controller for g p ( s )= kg p ( s / ω p ) as g c ( s , ω c )= g c ( s / ω p , ω c )/ k ( 67 ) there are three parameters in ( 67 ) that are subject to tuning . the first two parameters , k and ω p , represent plant changes or variations that are determined . the third parameter , ω c , is tuned to maximize performance of the control system subject to practical constraints . an example method for auto - tuning is now described . the auto - tuning method includes examining a plant g p ( s ) and the nominal controller g c ( s , ω c ). given the plant g p ( s ) and the nominal controller g c ( s , ω c ), the method includes performing off - line tests to determine k and ω p for the plant . the method also includes using equation ( 67 ) to determine a new controller for the plant , g p ( s )= kg p ( s / ω p ), obtained in the previous act . the method also includes optimizing ω c for the new plant . an example method for adaptive self - tuning is now described . the adaptive self - tuning procedure includes examining a plant g p ( s )= kg p ( s / ω p ), where k and ω p are subject to change during plant operation . given the plant g p ( s )= kg p ( s / ω p ), the method includes performing real time parameter estimation to determine k and ω p as they change . the method also includes determining when the performance of the control system is degraded beyond a pre - determined , configurable threshold and updating the controller using ( 67 ). the method also includes selectively decreasing ω c if the plant dynamics deviate significantly from the model kg p ( s / ω p ), which causes performance and stability problems . the method also includes selectively increasing ω c subject to ω c - optimization constraints if the plant model can be updated to reflect the changes of the plant beyond k and ω p . the ladrc technique does not require the mathematical model of the plant . instead , it employs a rough estimate of the single parameter b in the differential equation of the plant ( 57 ). this estimation is denoted as b 0 and is the sole plant parameter in ladrc . as the dynamics of the plant changes , so does b . thus , b 0 can be estimated by rewriting ( 57 ) as and assuming the zero initial condition , ( e . g ., y ( i ) ( 0 )= 0 , i = 1 , 2 , . . . n − 1 and f ( 0 )= 0 ). then b 0 ≈ b can be estimated by using where u ( 0 ) is the initial value of the input . it is to be appreciated that this method can be applied to both open loop and closed - loop configurations . for the auto - tuning purposes , the test can be performed off - line and a step input , u ( t )= constant can be applied . the ladrc does not require b 0 to be highly accurate because the difference , b − b 0 , is treated as one of the sources of the disturbance estimated by leso and cancelled by control law . the b 0 obtained from the off - line estimation of b described above can be adapted for auto - tuning ladrc . an auto - tuning method includes , performing off - line tests to determine the order of the plant and b 0 , selecting the order and the b 0 parameter of the ladrc using the results of the off - line tests , and performing a computerized auto - optimization . using the controller scaling , parameterization and optimization techniques presented herein , an example computer implemented method 1300 as shown in fig1 can be employed to facilitate automatically designing and optimizing the automatic controls ( adoac ) for various applications . the applications include , but are not limited to , motion control , thermal control , ph control , aeronautics , avionics , astronautics , servo control , and so on . the method 1300 , at 1310 , accepts inputs including , but not limited to , information concerning hardware and software limitations like the actuator saturation limit , noise tolerance , sampling rate limit , noise levels from sensors , quantization , finite word length , and the like . the method also accepts input design requirements like settling time , overshoot , accuracy , disturbance attenuation , and so on . furthermore , the method also accepts as input the preferred control law form like , pid form , model based controller in a transfer function form , and model independent ladrc form . in one example , the method can indicate if the control law should be provided in a difference equation form . at 1320 , a determination is made concerning whether a model is available . if a model is available , then at 1330 the model is accepted either in transfer function , differential equations , or state space form . if a model is not available , then the method may accept step response data at 1340 . information on significant dynamics that is not modeled , such as the resonant modes , can also be accepted . once the method has received information input , the method can check design feasibility by evaluating the specification against the limitations . for example , in order to see whether transient specifications are achievable given the limitations on the actuator , various transient profiles can be used to determine maximum values of the derivatives of the output base on which the maximum control signal can be estimated . thus , at 1350 , a determination is made concerning whether the design is feasible . in one example , if the design is not feasible , processing can conclude . otherwise , processing can proceed to 1360 . if the input information passes the feasibility test , then at 1360 , the method 1300 can determine an ω c parameterized solution in one or more formats . in one example , the ω c solution can then be simulated at 1370 to facilitate optimizing the solution . in one example , to assist an engineer or other user , the adoac method provides parameterized solutions of different kind , order , and / or forms , as references . the references can then be ranked separately according to simplicity , command following quality , disturbance rejection , and so on to facilitate comparison . fig1 illustrates a computer 1400 that includes a processor 1402 , a memory 1404 , a disk 1406 , input / output ports 1410 , and a network interface 1412 operably connected by a bus 1408 . executable components of the systems described herein may be located on a computer like computer 1400 . similarly , computer executable methods described herein may be performed on a computer like computer 1400 . it is to be appreciated that other computers may also be employed with the systems and methods described herein . the processor 1402 can be a variety of various processors including dual microprocessor and other multi -
