Abstract: Fractional order PI controllers based on two different analytical design methods are applied to a magnetic levitation system in this paper. The controller parameters are specified in order to fulfill specific frequency criteria. The first design method utilizes a unity feedback reference model whose forward path includes Bode's ideal loop transfer function. The second method uses the reference model that has been obtained via delayed Bode's ideal loop transfer function. The achievement of these two controllers are contrasted with each other on the magnetic levitation system using various criteria.
