This experimental study investigates the practical benefits and drawbacks of error-cube control for closed-loop PID control structures. The error-cube control approach employs the cube power of the error signal for controllers and this causes variability in control characteristics due to the non-linearity of the cube power operation. The error-cube signal introduces attenuated and magnified error regions. These two characteristic error regions result in a tight control regime and a slack control regime, depending on magnitude of the error signal. The study presents a discussion on non-linear error signals in a practical aspect and demonstrates the effects of non-linear error signals on the step response of closed-loop PID control systems via simulation results and experimental measurements. An enhanced error-cube controller was proposed to improve the control performance of the error-cube control and results are discussed.
