What is PID Control ?Modulat
g Control - PID
Modulating Control:
In modulating control. the feedback controller operates in two steps. First it computes the error between the
controlled variable (the process feedback) and the set point. Then it produces an output signal (to the control
valve) to reduce the measured error to zero,
This type of control (operating with continuously changing analog values), includes three basic modes:
proportional. integral. and derivative. Most modern controllers include the three PID functions; however, loop
operation and tuning parameters may only activate a single mode, a combination of two modes, or a
combination of all three modes.

PID Control
+ The PID control scheme is named after its three correcting terms, whose sum constitutes the manipulated
variable (MV). The proportional, integral, and derivative terms are summed to calculate the output of the PID
controller. Defining as the controller output, the final form of the PID algorithm is:
. de(t
u(t) = MV(t) = Kpe(t) + Kf e(r)dr+ 20,

Kp is the proportional gain, a tuning parameter

€ () ~ SP— PY (i) is the error (SP is the setpoint, and PV(t) is the process
variable), 7 is the time or instantaneous time (the present)
7 is the variable of integration (takes on values from time 0 to the present /).

Proportional term
= The proportional term produces an output value that is proportional to the current error value. The
proportional response can be adjusted by multiplying the error by a constant K,, called the proportional gain
constant,
~The proportional term is given by:
Pon = Kell). »
- Ahigh proportional gain results in a large change in the
output for a given change in the error. Ifthe proportional gain
is too high, the system can become unstable. In contrast,
small gain results in a small output response to a large input“
error, and a less responsive or less sensitive controller. Ifthe
proportional gain is too low, the control action may be too 4s
small when responding to system disturbances. Tuning theory
and industrial practice indicate that the proportional term
should contribute the bulk of the output change.Modulai

Integral term
= The contribution from the integral term is proportional to both the magnitude of the error and the duration of
the error. The integral in a PID controller is the sum of the instantaneous error over time and gives the
accumulated offset that should have been corrected previously. The accumulated error is then multiplied by
the integral gain (K;) and added to the controller output.
= The Integral term is given by:
=m [lacie
= The integral term accelerates the movement of the process
towards setpoint and eliminates the residual steady-state error
that occurs with a pure proportional controller. However,
since the integral term responds to accumulated errors from °)
the past, it can cause the present value to overshoot the
setpoint value

Derivative term
‘The derivative of the process error is calculated by determining the slope of the error over time and
multiplying this rate of change by the derivative gain K,, The magnitude of the contribution of the derivative
term to the overall control action is termed the derivative gain, Ky.

Derivative action predicts system behavior and thus improves
settling time and stability of the system. An ideal derivative is
. so that implementations of PID controllers include
‘an additional low-pass filtering for the derivative term to limit
the high-frequeney gain and noise. Derivative action is
seldom used in practice though — by one estimate in only 25%
of deployed controllers because ofits variable impact on
system stability in real-world applications.
