In communications systems, a group of technologies can be linked into one system. Each technology has a function, and each system has stages. Therefore, it can be said that the input stage can have one or multiple inputs. MIMO techniques suffer from a large-scale linear dynamic problem, it will be easy to adjust the (PID) of a continuous system, and any system is considered vulnerable to disturbances during the operation process. Therefore, a state of instability can occur in it, which requires developing solutions to modify the behavior of the it. Systems need control units to handle transient states as a result of changing operating conditions of the system. Expert and intelligent systems can be used to adjust the traditional controllers and make them adapt to the operating conditions of the proposed system. Work must be done to make the proposed approach capable of ensuring stability for the system. Work can be done to reduce the time for the transient state and the speed of response to the stable state. The behavior of the system can be clarified through simulation results and show the difference between the methods. Proposed to test the feasibility and effectiveness of the work and verify it using the MATLAB program to design a highly accurate and efficient model. The current study reviews This work displays the tuning of the PID controller for MIMO systems utilizing a statistical FPA and evaluated by objective function as integral time absolute error (ITAE). A combination of ITAE combined with the FPA reduction method is adopted to reduce the steady-state transient time responses between the higher-order initial scheme and the unit amplitude It also aims to conduct simulation and develop the appropriate and proposed design model with different. It is possible to compare the control of the system using a traditional control unit and another that adjusts using the modern technology of the Flower pollination algorithm FPA-PID. It also showed that the results of the simulation process were clear that the optimization process using FPA-PID was superior to the other traditional case (PID).
