PID controllers algorithms

Presently, fieldbus controllers are single-loop controllers with 8- and 16-bit microprocessors and are options to digital field-control devices. These controllers support the basic PID control algorithm...

Nowadays, the different DCS and PLC suppliers use a variety of PID control algorithms, including the three most widely used ones listed in Table 2.34. 

The filter housing is placed inside a Carbolitc PF30 forced air circulation oven. A Carbolite type 201 Temperature Controller is supplied as an integral part of the control section of the oven. It is a digital instrument with PID control algorithm. 

An alternative form for the PI and PID control algorithms is the so-called velocity form. In this form, one does not compute the actual value of the controller output signal at the nth sampling instant, but its change from the preceding period. Thus consider the PID control action at the nth and (n - l)th sampling instants. From eq. (27.7) we take... 

Cohen-Coon settings (see Section 16.5) From the process reaction curve we can estimate the process static gain K, the dominant time constant r, and the process dead time td Then, from eqs. (16.9) through (16.11c), we can compute the parameters Kc, r/, and rD of a P, PI, or PID control algorithm. The effect of the sampling period T has been accounted for by the nature of the experiment itself, because the reaction curve has been determined using sampled-values of the process output. 

Describe in your own words the difference between the position and velocity forms of PI or PID control algorithms. Do we have these two forms for a proportional controller ... 

Equation (29.3) yields the discrete transfer function of the velocity PID control algorithm. For given changes in the sampled values of the error signal, the resulting discrete-time control action can be found from the inverse z-transform ... 

Sliding Mode Control Algorithm In contrast to the conventionally used P-Pl and PID control algorithms, a more robust sliding mode control algorithm has been introduced to...

Very simple constraint control is possible using the conventional PID control algorithm. Figure 8.2 shows a fired heater that has a single constraint — a hydraulic limit on fuel. It is profitable to run the heater at maximum feed rate, subject to this constraint. 

Temperature proportional-integral derivative Pinpoint temperature accuracy is essential to be successful in many fabricating processes. In order to achieve it, microprocessor-based temperature controllers can use a proportional-integrated-derivative (PID) control algorithm acknowledged to be accurate. The unit will instandy identify varying thermal behavior and adjust its PID values accordingly. 

Most sampled-data control systems employ discrete versions of PI and PID control algorithms although computers are certainly not limited to only these types. Special-purpose algorithms can be construaed in the software to deal with the multivariable, nonlinear nature of a distillation column. Adaptive control, for example, updates the parameters in control algorithms and sampling rates to compensate for nonlinearities in the process. Optimal control is a...
