Figure C2.4 Time-proportional PID Control Output
Continuous PID Control Output
In continuous PID control, the PID computation result, HOUT, is output as a continuous
analog signal in the form of a 4-20 mA current.

Continuous PID control is available only with F3CU04-1S.
TIP
Time-proportional PID control output and continuous PID control output differ only in the output type. To
configure a terminal for time-proportional PID control, set the Output Type Selection (OUTPUT)
parameter to Open Collector. To configure a terminal for continuous PID control, set the Output Type
Selection (OUTPUT) parameter to Analog Output (4-20 mA current output).
TIP
The output of an output terminal also depends on the Output Terminal Selection parameter. For details
on output terminal selection, see Section C2.3, "Output Terminal Selection."
