Pid

This document provides an introduction to PID control. It explains that PID controllers use proportional, integral and derivative coefficients to manipulate the error between a process variable and setpoint for optimal response. P control uses proportional gain to multiply the error. PI control adds integral action to eliminate offset. PID control combines the benefits of P, I and D control by using proportional control to correct for current errors, integral control to correct for accumulated errors over time, and derivative control to counteract overshooting from P and I control. Tuning involves adjusting the gain, integral and derivative parameters to achieve the desired response without overshooting or oscillation.

PID controller
A proportionalintegralderivative controller (PID controller)
is a control loop feedback mechanism.

As the name suggests, PID algorithm consists of three basic


coefficients: proportional, integral and derivative which are
varied to get optimal response.
PID as the Control System
How does PID work?
The entire idea of this algorithm revolves around manipulating the error. The error
as is evident is the difference between the Process Variable and the Setpoint.

ERROR = PV - SP

These 3 modes are used in different combinations:

P Sometimes used
PI - Most often used
PID Sometimes used
PD Very rare, useful for controlling servomotors.
The P-Control
In Proportional Only mode, the
controller simply multiplies the
Error by the Proportional Gain (Kp)
to get the controller output.

The Proportional Gain is the


setting that we tune to get our
desired performance from a P
only controller.

The proportionality constant used


for P-Control is KP.
Drawbacks of P-Control
Too high a value of Kp will lead to the oscillation of PV.
Also, the P-controller tends to generate an offset value.
Proportional controllers also increase the maximum
overshoot of the system.
The PI-control

Controller Output(COI) = KI e d

CO = COP + COI

=KPe + (e d)/1

=KP (e + (e d)/N)

N = Reset Time
The PI-control
As e(t) grows or shrinks, the amount
added to CO grows or shrinks
immediately and proportionately. The
past history and current trajectory of the
controller error have no influence on the
proportional term computation.

Integral Action Eliminates Offset.


PID Control - Best of Everything
The proportional corrects instances of error, the integral corrects accumulation of
error, and the derivative corrects present error versus error the last time it was
checked.

The effect of the derivative is to counteract the overshoot caused by P and I.


When the error is large, the P and the I will push the controller output. This
controller response makes error change quickly, which in turn causes the
derivative to more aggressively counteract the P and the I.
Tuning a PID Controller
Tuning a control loop is the adjustment of its control parameters (gain/proportional
band, integral gain/reset, derivative gain/rate) to optimum values for a target
response.

Tuning a PID Controller
Too High KP will lead to oscillation in values and will tend to
generate an offset

KI will counteract the offset. Higher Value of KI implies that the


Setpoint will reach the PV too fast

If this action is very fast, the process variable is prone to be


unsteady.

KD keeps this under control.
