The Performance Limits for PID Controllers
PID Controllers can be applied successfully to most control problems in process control, electrical drive systems and servo mechanisms due to the fact that most of these processes have a dynamic behaviour that can be adequately approximated by a second-order … Read more

How to Tune the PID Controller
Before we discuss how to tune the PID controller, let’s look at some basic facts about PID Controller. Basic Facts about PID Controller Many control systems use a combinational of three types of control i.e. Proportional + Integral + Derivative … Read more

Basic Features of Modern PID Controllers
Most modern PID controllers have the following features: Manual versus automatic modeOutput trackingSetpoint trackingAlarm capabilitiesProcess variable (PV) characterization and dampingSetpoint limitsOutput limitsPID tuning security Manual and Automatic Modes When the controller manually calculates … Read more

Digital PID Controllers
Digital PID controllers have replaced most pneumatic and electronic analog controllers in industrial control applications. Digital PID controllers are preferred over the analog types because they employ microprocessors which can execute multiple functions at ago hence they bring with them … Read more

Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) Control Systems
Proportional-Integral-Derivative For processes that are able to operate with continuous cycling, the relatively inexpensive two position controller is sufficient. For processes that cannot tolerate continuous cycling, a proportional controller is used. For processes that tolerate neither cycling nor offset error, … Read more
