Control Loops n Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) loops allow for dynamic systems to be controlled n They take an input and compare to setpoint producing an error. This error then is used to calculate the control output via the PID loops.

PID Tuning PID automatic/manual tuning procedures should be taken from controller manual. n A simple method of manual tuning is using the double half method. n n Process is cycling around set point n n Process Stabilizes but slow response n n Start by doubling P band ie 15 to 30 Take the amount you doubled by and decrease P band by 1/2 of this. Ie +15*(1/2)=7. 5 so 30 -7. 5=22. 5 Process is now stable but droops under set point n Use the same method of double half to find the best Integral.
