Abstract: This paper presents the development of mathematical model for Coupled Tank System (CTS) using System Identification (SI) method. In this research, real model of CTS-001 is used as a medium to generate transfer function experimentally. By 1058 input and output data from the execution process are recorded and analyzed to develop a model. Implementation of SI toolbox is applied and explained clearly in order to generate a model of CTS. Then, the model of CTS is tested via open and closed loop method to observe the stability and transient responses of the system. This output response from the modeling function can be taken as the benchmark to achieve a good response for future implementation of CTS. All the execution and performances can easily be monitored in MATLAB environment.
