40.4. Superposition of P, I and D Portions
Function:
∫
++⋅= (7)
dK t d d X
d XpK Y
Where Kp · Ti = Tn and Kd/Kp = Tv the function of the PID controller is calculated according to the following
equation:

d X (pK Y
Kp Proportional coefficient / proportional gain
Tn Reset time
(Time which is required to obtain an equally large change in the actuating variable by the I portion, as
occurs due to the P portion)
Tv Derivative time
(Time by which a certain actuating variable is reached earlier on account of the D portion than with a
pure P-controller)
