I would like to make macro blocks for control loop block diagram. My idea is to have PI controller and filter blocks like in picture, and to have the possibility to simply add in my diagram, but I can't do iti. I have tried \tikzstyle \tikzset without success. Any help is welcome.
Thank you, for the dupliacte link help, anyway as promised I will publish my blocks. They are mede of several posts, I hope I didn't made a mess.

pic. – Zarko May 22 '16 at 11:47pics can be trickier. But they are much simpler to make than specialised nodes, for example. – cfr May 22 '16 at 13:31
