- 3. Introduction The PIDPlus capability in DeltaV may be used to implement closed loop control using WirelessHART devices. In this workshop we address Wireless Impact on Control PIDPlus for Control Using Wireless Measurements Performance Comparison to Wired Transmitter Addressing Lost Communications Test results – Field Installations The PIDPlus may be used with slow and variable communication updates
- 4. Challenge – Control Using WirelessHART Transmitter power consumption may be minimized by reducing the number of times the measurement value is communicated. Conventional PID execution synchronizes the measurement value with control action, by over-sampling the measurement by a factor of 2-10X. The rule of thumb to minimize control variation is to have feedback control executed 4X to 10X times faster than the process response time (process time constant plus process delay). The conventional PID design (i.e., difference equation and z- transform) assumes that a new measurement value is available at each execution and that control is executed on a fixed periodic basis.
- 5. Conventional Approach – Over Sampling of Measurement Process Output 63% of Change O Time Constant ( ) Deadtime (TD ) Process Input I Control Execution New Measurement Available
- 6. Conventional PID - Impact of Wireless The underlying assumption in traditional control design is that the PID is executed on a periodic basis 4X-10X times over the process response time . When the measurement update is variable or updated less frequently, the calculated reset action may not be appropriate. If control action is only executed when a new measurement is communicated, this could result in a delayed control response to setpoint changes and feedforward action on measured disturbances. Conventional PID Design
- 7. Emerson’s WirelessHART Solution Power consumption of the wireless device is reduced by transmitting the measurement value only as often as required to allow control action to correct for unmeasured disturbances. The PID may be configured to execute much faster than the measurement value is communicated. The PIDPlus is designed to automatically compensate for the slower measurement update and any variation in measurement update rates. Tuning of the PIDPlus is based strictly on the process dynamics independent of the measurement update rate and is not impacted by variations in measurement update.

Conventional PID Design
- 9. PIDPlus for WirelessHART Communications To provide the best control for slow or variable measurement update rates, the PID must be modified to reflect the reset contribution for the expected process response since the last measurement update. Control execution is set faster than measurement update. This permits immediate action on setpoint change and update in the faceplate. PIDPlus is a standard feature of DeltaV v11.3 (released 2010) PIDPlus Design in DeltaV v11.3
- 10. PIDPlus Reset (Integral) Calculation The filter output used in the positive feedback network is calculated in the following manner when a new measurement is received. PIDPlus tuning is based on the process dynamic (e.g. RESET= process time constant plus deadtime); PIDPlus reset automatically compensates for slow updates and variations in the measurement update rate. No change in GAIN is required for varying update rate.
- 11. PIDPlus Modification for Setpoint Change Automatic compensation for setpoint change; measurement update rate. No need to modify tuning as sample rate changes No Yes PIDPlus –DeltaV v12.3 release in 2012
