Hysteresis slows oscillation

Increases oscillation amplitude

Intro to PID

What is PID?

P = Proportional Band % of entire input span

0 – 100% output power integrated over this band

I = Integral Time Time in seconds

Adjusts output based on amount of error

D = Derivative Time Also expressed in seconds

Adjusts output based on rate of change

Intro to PID

Proportional Only Control P band is expressed as a % of entire

input span Type J thermocouple range is –200o to 760o C,

or input span of 960o C If P = 10 (%)

10% of 960 = 96o

96

404

Intro to PID

Proportional Only Control cont’d Lower P to 5%

Type J thermocouple range is –200o to 760o C, or input span of 960o C

If P = 5 (%) 5% of 960 = 48o

404

452 C100 %

48 C

Intro to PID

Proportional Only Control cont’d Lower P to 1%

Type J thermocouple range is –200o to 760o C, or input span of 960o C

If P = 1 (%) 1% of 960 = 9.6o

452 C

100 %

9.6 C

The lower the P band, the higher the gain

Back to “On/Off” control

Intro to PID

Proportional, Integral Control Integral is time, in seconds, that Integral

contribution will equal that of the Proportional contribution (to the output power)

In this example, if Prop = 30% OP, Int adds 30% OP over 5 second timeframe

5 Sec 5 SecIntegral Time

Looks at amount of error, and adds OP, over Integral timeframe, equivalent to the Prop contribution…

Etc…

Intro to PID

Proportional, Integral Control Integral contribution works to remove

Steady State Error

Intro to PID

Proportional, Integral, Derivative Control Derivative is also time, in seconds

Derivative Time10 Sec 10 Sec Etc…

Derivative corrects for the rate of change taking place in the process

Calculates future process value if rate of change continues for (Derivative Time), and adjusts OP accordingly

Looks at rate of change

Intro to PID

Proportional, Integral, Derivative Control Final result

Final results may vary

PID Control with discrete outputs Time proportioning: Outputs are on for a

percentage of the “Cycle Time” Cycle Time (CYCT): On period / Off

period CYCT factory setting: 2 seconds

Intro to PID

The “tcod” Value 0 = Fastest Response, more overshoot 1 = Medium Response, less overshoot 2 = Slowest Response, minimal

overshoot

Intro to PID

Set before Autotune, the tcod allows you to decide how aggressively you want to reach setpoint
