PID - Proportional Integral Derivative Controller
The PID function uses system feedback to continuously control a dynamic process.
The purpose of PID control is to keep a process running as close as possible to a desired set point.
PID Means - Proportional + Integral + Derivative Control
CV = CV (P) + CV (I) + CV (D)
Proportional Control
Proportional Band - A band around SP is defined in percents of PV range.
Proportional error is 100% on the border of PB.
Proportional error is 0% at SP.
P-Control output CV(P) value that is in - Direct linear proportion to the size of error value.
Advantages of Proportional Control- Simple Easy to implement
Disadvantages of Proportional Control- Never reach setpoint.
Integral Control
Compensate for the proportional control shortcomings.
The integral time set is the ideal amount of time for the process value to reach setpoint.
Derivative Action
Derivative Action responds to the rate and direction of change in the error.
