The difference between the setpoint and process value is the error before the deadband.
The setpoint and process value must exist in the same unit.
To suppress a small constant oscillation due to the manipulated variable quantization (for
example in pulse duration modulation with PULSEGEN) a deadband (DEADBAND) is
applied to the error. If DEADB_W = 0.0, the deadband is deactivated. The effective error
is indicated by the ER parameter.
The schematic below is the block diagram of the PID algorithm:
