Before stabilizing the loop by increasing the throttling range TR , measure the period of oscillation-the time in minutes from one peak to the next one complete cycle. Step 2. Next, achieve loop stability using proportional control only. Do not hesitate to increase TR if necessary, because some loops, such as mixed air, may require a TR of 25 degrees or more to achieve stability.
Step 3. Step 4. Use the following formula to calculate the integral value to be used. It will provide a good starting point for integral action:. Step 5. Monitor loop control to evaluate response. It may be necessary to upset the loop to get a good test of loop response.
Changing the setpoint to simulate a sudden change in load, then observing the time required to reach the new setpoint can do this. It is generally not recommended to exceed 1. Experience shows that numbers between 0. Step 6. Typically, the control loops used in the HVAC industry do not require derivative action. Derivative action is generally not recommended because an improper derivative value will produce worse control than none at all. Experience proves that proportional and integral control can achieve precision.
If derivative is required, use the following formula to determine the derivative value:. Many DDC systems offer an automatic self-tuning loop feature that eliminates the need to time the loop period, calculate the proper integral value, and select the correct proportional band.
While self-tuning loops appear to offer the ideal solution to achieving good control and saving time, caution must be exercised when using the self-tuning loop feature, especially in more complex control strategies. This can happen when the self-tuning loop results in an excessively wide throttling range, effectively reducing or eliminating the amount of intended separation between the heating and cooling devices.
Another word of caution is never to use the self-tuning loop feature to tune a loop used to control two, two-position heating or cooling devices in sequence. Such a control strategy is usually dependent on a specific throttling range value necessary to obtain the desired sequencing results.
Self-tuning loops tend to ratchet PID parameters throttling range, integral, and derivative upward at a relatively quick rate in an attempt to achieve stable operation. If any of these values overshoot for any reason, it will generally take much longer for the algorithm to bring them back to more realistic values.
When using the self-tuning loop feature, be sure to monitor system performance long enough to be certain the entire control system operates properly and functions as a system. The proportional gain Kc determines the ratio of output response to the error signal. In general, increasing the proportional gain will increase the speed of the control system response. However, if the proportional gain is too large, the process variable will begin to oscillate. As can be seen from the above equation, P-only control provides a linear relationship between the error of a system and the controller output of the system.
This type of control provides a response, based on the signal that adjusts the system so that any oscillations are removed, and the system returns to steady-state. It determines the deviation of the system and produces the control signal that reduces the deviation to 0 and small value.
The manner in which the automatic controller produces the control signal is called the control action. Control System. The basic idea behind a PID controller is to read a sensor, then compute the desired actuator output by calculating proportional, integral, and derivative responses and summing those three components to compute the output.
In signal processing, a filter is a device or process that removes some unwanted components or features from a signal. Filtering is a class of signal processing, the defining feature of filters being the complete or partial suppression of some aspect of the signal. There are many different types of filters used in electronics. These filter types include low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-stop band-rejection; notch , or all-pass.
They are either active or passive. The proportionality factor K is called proportional gain. K is dimensionless. Gain is how close to the desired speed or position the servo motor is; high gain allows small accurate movements making the machine capable of producing precise parts.

How is gain calculated on a controller?
What is P gain? When would you use a proportional controller? What are the disadvantages of PID controller? The integral mode does this by integrating the error over a period of time interval. It is defined by the formula:. Since integral control integrates the error over time, the control action grows larger the longer the error persists.
This integration of the error takes place until no error exists. Every integral action has a phase lag of 90 degree and this phase shift has a destabilizing effect. For this reason, we rarely use I-control without P-control. Repeats Per Minute - How many times the proportional action is repeated each minute.
Minutes Per Repeat - How many minutes are required for 1 repeat to occur. Though integral mode is effective in eliminating the offset, it is slower than the proportional mode in that it must act over a period of time.
A faster than proportional mode is derivative or rate mode. This speeds up the controller action, compensating for some of the delays in the feedback loop. It can be expressed by the formula:. Here TD is the derivative or rate time.
