The PID Plus algorithm is implemented in Excel 5000 controller operation based on
the following code:
;;; Reverse Acting PID Controller
;;; Integral action is enabled if the integral time is greater than or equal to 15 seconds and the integral
;;; action flag Xd is true.
IF (Xd=True) AND (Tn
15)) Error_Sum = Error_Sum + E
n
ELSE Error_Sum = 0
;;; This limits the integral action to the range
50
Error_Limit = Xp * Tn / ( to * 2 )
Error_Sum = MIN ( Error_Limit, Error_Sum )
Error_Sum = MAX ( -Error_Limit, Error_Sum )
;;; Integral Term
IF (Tn < 15)
Int_Term = 0
ELSE
Int_Term = to * Error_Sum / Tn
;;; Derivative Term
Derv_Term = (Tv *(E
n
- E
n-1
) / to)
Y = 50 + (100/Xp) * (E
n
+ Int_Term + Derv_Term)
Y = MIN(Y,max_out)
Y = MAX(Y,min_out)
PID Plus Example This example implements automatic switchover from P to PI control. The PID Plus
derivative parameter must be set to zero to establish PI control. The following
diagram shows how PID Plus operates in a CARE setup.
