Introduction to Tuning an Arduino PID In this section, we’ll discuss Tuning an Arduino PID loop. Before we begin, it’s important to familiarize ourselves with what PID is. PID stands for “Proportional, Integral, and Derivative”. Don’t let the name be intimidating though. It’s just a way to provide the exact Read More »
Introduction to Derivative Settings for ControlLogix PID Enhanced (PIDE) Basically, the derivative settings for ControlLogix PID Enhanced will multiply the effect that derivative has in your closed loop system. We use derivative to anticipate, or predict error in the future. Consider this example: Obviously when you open the valve, a Read More »
Introduction to PlantPAx 4 PID We typically use the PlantPAx 4 PID (P_PIDE) in closed loop controls. For example, we have a heating process. This heating process provides a control value (CV) to the heat bands. We monitor the process variable (PV) to see what effect our output has. Our Read More »
