The control of a magnetic ball levitation system using PSO tuned proportional integral derivative (PID) controller is proposed in this paper. Though PID controller produces a controlled output for stable and unstable systems, the performance of the system in terms of overshoot, settling time, Integral Square Error (ISE) and Integral Absolute Error (IAE) are poor. To solve this problem, PSO tuned PID controller is designed based on the system open loop transfer function. The performance of the proposed controller is demonstrated via simulation study of a magnetic ball levitation system. The results are compared with the classical PID controller.
