Download Altoqi Lumine V4 Cracked. Having read the rather lengthy discussion of gurus like Peter and Ron in a post about PID and going nearly crosseyed I have to ask. SOOO - When is someone going to write PID for Dummies.

THe book intended for the tech who wants to add a PID proportional control to a single loop process and not get a PHD while elarning to tune his loop. The help files for the AB PID instruction have enver been really useful and RSTUNE has always been an expense. My plant has several PLC's with PID Instructions in them. From time to time we get asked to add more. How do I know I am adding them correctly and that what we have is tuned for optimum performance?

Hi People, Just curious about implementing PID algorithm with Auto Tuning feature, all with ladder logic without the use of built in PID instruction for AB M.

Greetings to BobLfoot and to Sleepy Wombat. To continue the discussion. If you don’t have ANYTHING to go by, just set it for 0.50 second and get on with your life. The “natural period of oscillation” of the system shown in this 'rerun' post is about 3.54 minutes per cycle. The “book” recommends a PID update setting of one/tenth of that value. So about 0.354 minutes - about 21. Duval County Esol Program Miami. 24 seconds. Personally, I never shoot for less than 20 executions/updates per cycle.

So in this example, I would set the update time for about 0.177 minutes - or 10.62 seconds. This setting should be “fast enough” to give us “satisfactory” control. Anything faster is (theoretically at least) simply wasting processor scan time, etc. And over-burdening the processor with extra/unnecessary calculations. But now then. In many (most?) cases, we also use the PID to make certain handy “scaling” calculations for us. Things like the “Scaled PV”, etc.

Take the time to study and understand your controller and know exactly what those settings are doing. For example, Allen Bradley uses a term called Proportional Band (PB). As configured in some of their PLC's, proportional band is NOT the gain of the PID loop but rather it is one divided by the gain (PB = 1/Gain) of the PID.
