Description of PID_Temp
Description
The PID_Temp instruction provides a PID controller with integrated tuning for temperature
processes. PID_Temp can be used for pure heating or heating/cooling applications.
The following operating modes are possible:
● Inactive
● Pretuning
● Fine tuning
● Automatic mode
● Manual mode
● Substitute output value with error monitoring
For a more detailed description of the operating modes, see the State parameter.
PID_Temp is a PIDT1 controller with anti-windup and weighting of the proportional and
derivative actions. The PID algorithm operates according to the following equation (control
zone and dead zone deactivated):
The table below shows the meaning of the icons used in the equation and in the subsequent
figures.
