Proportional Integral Derivative PID Control

The primary purpose of a proportional integral derivative controller (see Equation 4.23) is to provide a response period Xn that is much the same as with proportional control hut which has no offset. The derivative action adds the additional response speed required to overcome the lag in the response from the integral action. 

The addition of the derivative mode in the PID controller provides a response similar to that of a P-only controller, hut without the offset because of the integral action. Therefore, a PID controller provides a tight dynamic response, but since it contains a derivative block it cannot be used in any processes in which noise is anticipated. 

Three principal functional control modes are proportional (P), integral (I) and derivative (D) control. These are performed by the ideal three-mode controller (PID), described by the equation 

The response of a controller to an error depends on its mode. In the proportional mode (P), the output signal is proportional to the detected error, e. Systems with proportional control often exhibit pronounced oscillations, and for sustained changes in load, the controlled variable attains a new equilibrium or steady-state position. The difference between this point and the set point is the offset. Proportional control always results in either an oscillatory behaviour or retains a constant offset error. 

Integral mode controller (I) output is proportional to the sum of the error over the time. It can be seen that the corrections or adjustments are proportional to the integral of the error and not to the instantaneous value of the error. Moreover, the corrections continue until the error is brought to zero. However, the response of integral mode is slow and therefore is usually used in combination with other modes. 

Derivative mode (D) output is proportional to the rate of change of the input error, as can be seen from the three-mode equation. 

In industrial practice it is common to combine all three modes. The action is proportional to the error (P) and its change (D) and it continues if residual error is present (I). This combination gives the best control using conventional feedback equipment. It retains the specific advantages of all three modes proportional correction (P), offset elimination (1) and stabilising, quick-acting character, especially suitable to overcome lag presence (D).

Response of a system with (a) proportional + derivative (PD) control and (6) proportional + integral + derivative (PID) control when the gain is 15 percent of the critical gain. Part (c) shov the response with PID control when the gain is 50 percent of the critical gain, a practical limit for good regulation. Compare these responses to that shown in Fig. 10 for simple proportional (P) control. 

The Pt catalyst was mounted on a copper block and could be translated, tilted and rotated by means of a manipulator fitted with a differentially pumped rotary feedthrough. The Pt foil (Advent, purity > 99.99%) could be resistively heated. The mounting allowed to work in the temperature range 300-1600 K using direct sample heating with a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control unit. The temperature of the catalyst was measured by a Ni-NiCr thermocouple spot welded to the Pt-foil. Clean platinum surfaces could be obtained by applying several cycles of Ar" " ion... 

Heat is lost from the surface by conduction through the susceptor and mount, by forced convection of gas over the substrate, and by radiation to the reactor walls, provided the temperature of the substrate is sufficiently high. Endothermic chemical reactions also result in heat loss from the film. The substrate temperature is monitored with a thermocouple or an optical pyrometer and controlled using a traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller and power source. 

In the multiloop controller strategy each manipulated variable controls one variable in a feedback proportional integral derivative (PID) control loop. Taking a single-feed, two-product distillation column with a total condenser and a reboiler as an example, a basic list of possible controlled variables includes the distillate and bottoms compositions, the liquid levels in the reflux accumulator and the column bottom, and the column pressure. The main manipulated variables are the reflux, distillate, and bottoms flow rates and the condenser and reboiler heat duties.

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control PID control takes advantage of PE, PI, and PD controls by finding the gains (Kp. Kp and Kj to balance the proportiontil response, steady state reset ahUity, and rate of response control, so the plant can be weU controlled. 

We have just described proportional (P) control and proportional plus derivative (PD) control. Integration can be added to a controller, which not only gives it reset action, but also can exacerbate instability. There are proportional plus integral (PI) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. These classical types are used where the system dynamics (the Plant) are well defined. 

The block diagram of the gas turbine control system is presented in Fig. 3 and described by the data in Table 1. The diagram consists of two Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controllers. LVG stands for Least Value Gate that transmitting the minimum of two incoming signals. 

Plastic Temperature. Correct temperature and uniformity are crucial for a consistent process. Monitoring of plastic temperature is difficult and rarely utilized in the industry. Control of temperature is done via thermocouples partially embedded into the barrel wall, usually three to four along the length of the barrel. The actual molten plastic is not monitored for temperature and >90% of the temperature values provided as data are barrel wall temperatures that can be off by 25°C (45°F). Temperature control is done via proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers or PID algorithms on computer controlled presses. Calibration of thermocouples is seldom done. PID temperature control of the nozzle tips is also important, yet 40% of the industry uses variacs. 

A vast number of techniques have been developed for achieving these desirable characteristics. As an example, one particular method known as proportional integral derivative (PID) control will be considered.
