ΔMV

ΔPV

 = change in measured (controlled) value

 - PV
n-1
ΔT = control period = period_of_execution in block header
K = proportional gain = GAIN (= 100/proportional band)
TI = integral time = RESET
TD = derivative time = RATE
The subscripts, n and n-1, represent the sampling time and thus PV
n
 and PV
n-1
 denote the 
PV value sampled most recently and the PV value sampled at the preceding control 
period respectively.
Table 47 shows the PID control parameters.
Control Output
The final control output value, OUT, is computed based on the change in control output 
ΔMVn, which is calculated at each control period in accordance with the aforementioned 
algorithm. The PID block performs the velocity type output action for the control output by 
determining the value of the new control output (OUT) by adding the change in control 
output calculated in the current control period, ΔMV
n
, to the current read-back value of 
the MV(OUT), MVRB (BKCAL_IN). This action can be expressed as:
OUT = BKCAL_IN - ΔMV
n'
ΔMV
n'
 = ΔMV
n
 which is scaled by PV_SCALE and OUT_SCALE
