DeltaV Control PID
DeltaV Control PID
The controller block frequently shown in control system block is generally thought of as
the Laplace transfer functions that act as the control compensating elements.
The industrial controller block usually includes the summing junction as well as the
compensating equation. The entire controller functions are shown in the dotted block
below:

The PID function block combines all the necessary logic to perform; analog input
channel processing, proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control with the option for
nonlinear control (including error-squared and notched gain), and, analog output channel
processing. This block can run in the DeltaV controller or execute in a Fieldbus device.
The PID function block supports mode control, signal scaling and limiting, feedforward
control, override tracking, alarm limit detection, and signal status propagation. To
support testing, you can enable simulation. (Reference: DeltaV Help)
The actual implementation of this block contains more functions than just the
compensating algorithm. The user needs to be able to run the control in manual, provide
anti-reset windup, output limits, bumpless manual to automatic transfers as well as
implement cascade and feed forward control.
Block Execution - PID Function Block
The PID function block provides proportional (P) + integral (I) + derivative (D) control.
Two PID equation forms are supported in the block, both forms supporting external reset
and feedforward:
Where:
L(s) is the external reset input which is either from BKCAL_IN or OUT.
