Overview PID controller

This function block implements a PID controller.


Inputs

FG
Enable
Enable. The controller is enabled when 1 is present at the input. This input is optional; if the input is not connected, the controller is automatically enabled.
IW
Actual value
Actual value
SW
Setpoint
Setpoint

Outputs

A1
Manipulated variable
Manipulated variable.
PR
Percent
Output of the manipulated variable as a 0-100% value.
PW
PWM
Output of the manipulated variable as a PWM signal; for this, the time from the parameter time base is used for the cycle.

Parameters

Control time
Control time in seconds. The outputs are now updated at this interval.
P: Gain
P component of the PID controller.
I: Reset time
Reset time, I component of the PID controller. The difference is accumulated over this time, so a lower time means a higher I component.
D: Derivative
D component of the PID controller.
Manipulated variable Min.
Manipulated variable minimum limit
Manipulated variable Max.
Manipulated variable maximum limit
PWM time base
PWM time base. Example: With a manipulated variable of 40% and a time of 10 seconds, the PWM output is switched on for 4 seconds and off for 6 seconds.
