This paper suggests an idea to design an adaptive PID controller for Non-linear liquid tank System and is implemented in PLC. Online estimation of linear parameters (Time constant and Gain) brings an exact model of the process to take perfect control action. Based on these estimated values, the controller parameters will be well tuned by internal model control. Internal model control is an unremarkably used technique and provides well tuned controller in order to have a good controlling process. PLC with its ability to have both continues control for PID Control and digital control for fault diagnosis which ascertains faults in the system and provides alerts about the status of the entire process.
