In this paper, we study event-based PID control from an optimal stochastic control perspective. The purpose is to better understand what implementation features are critical for achieving good event-based PID performance. For this end, we formulate an LQG control design problem for a double integrator process with an integral disturbance, where the solution is an ideal PID controller. We then consider the trade-off between LQG cost and average sampling rate and give an interpretation of the optimal sampled-data controller and event-based sampling policy in terms of PID control. Based on insights from the optimal solution, we finally discuss how suboptimal but simple event-based PID controllers can be implemented. The proposed implementation is evaluated in a simulation study and compared to earlier work in event-based PID control. The results highlight the importance of considering both the triggering rule and the transmitted information in order to obtain an event-based PID controller with good performance.
