The PID controller is an improper transfer function (degree of num>degree of den). In Xcos the derivative term of the PID bloc is computed by an approximation
which seems to fail in your context.

A solution should be to replace the PID bloc with a transfert function block made proper adding a very small term in s^2 for the denominator (sse the attched diagram)

Please report the problem in http://bugzilla.scilab.org/

Hello,
I'm new to Scilab and Xcos so may be making a simple mistake, but I have the
following problem.  I created an Xcos model of a simple mass-spring-damper
with PID control using the data from the Matlab example shown  here
<http://ctms.engin.umich.edu/CTMS/index.php?example=Introduction&section=ControlPID>
.

The Xcos results are the same as the Matlab example except for the case when
all three gains are used as follows Kp=350, Ki=300 and Kd=50 .

My result looks like this (red line) and is clearly giving a different
response to the Matlab example for the same gain values.

I have tried different solvers and time steps, but this doesn't seem to be
the problem.  I have also modelled the problem in Mathcad 7, Mathcad Prime 3
and using csim in Scilab and all those results agree broadly with the Matlab
example.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and I have attached the Xcos file
for information. spring-damper-PID.zcos
