The PID function is only active if the output destination is routed to a valid unprotected parameter. If only the indicator parameters are required, the
destination parameter should be routed to an unused valid parameter.
This parameter monitors the output of the PID controller before scaling is applied. Subject to the PID output limits the PID output is given by:
Output = Pe + Ie/s + Des
Where:
P = proportional gain (Pr 14.10)
I = integral gain (Pr 14.11)
D = differential gain (Pr 14.12)
e = input error to the PID (14.22)
s = Laplace operator
Therefore with an error of 100% and P = 1.00 the output produced by the proportional term is 100%. With an error of 100% and I = 1.00 the output
produced by the integral term will increase linearly by 100% every second. With an error that is increasing by 100% per second and D = 1.00 the
output produced by the D term will be 100%.
These parameters define the variables which are to be used as the input variables to the PID controller. Only non-bit parameters can be programmed
as a source. If a non valid parameter is programmed the input value is taken as 0. All variable inputs to the PID are automatically scaled to variables
having the range of ±100.0% or 0 to 100% (of the source parameter) if they are unipolar.
These parameters can be used to invert the PID reference and source variables respectively.
This parameter defines the time taken for the reference input to ramp from 0.0 to 100.0% following a 0 to 100% step change in input.
