Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) Control Systems

Proportional-Integral-Derivative

For processes that are able to operate with continuous cycling, the relatively inexpensive two position controller is sufficient. For processes that cannot tolerate continuous cycling, a proportional controller is used. For processes that tolerate neither cycling nor offset error, … Read more

Proportional Plus Integral (PI) Control System

This type of control is combination of two control modes, proportional and integral (reset). The Combining of the two modes results in gaining the advantages and compensating for the disadvantages of the two individual control modes.

The main advantage … Read more

Modes of Automatic Control

The mode of control can be defined as the way or manner in which a control system makes corrections relative to an error that exists between the desired value (setpoint) of a controlled variable and its actual value.

Any particular … Read more
