  • Page 168: Appendix 5 Pid

    Appendix 5 This section describes PID. PID operations The temperature control module can implement the process-value inexact differential PID control. Operation method and operational expression The process-value inexact differential PID control is an operation method in which a primary delay filter has been put on the input of a derivative action and high-frequency noise has been eliminated to execute PID operations on the deviation (E).

  • Page 169: Actions Of The Temperature Control Module

    Actions of the temperature control module The temperature control module implements PID operations with normal operation and reverse operation. Normal Operation In a normal operation, the manipulated value (MV) increases when the temperature process value (PV) is larger than the set value (SV).

  • Page 170: Proportional Action (P Action)

    Proportional action (P action) A proportional action is used to obtain the manipulated value (MV) proportional to the deviation (difference between the set value (SV) and the temperature process value (PV)). Proportional gain In a proportional action, the relation between changes in the deviation (E) and the manipulated value (MV) can be expressed using the following formula: MV=K ⋅E...

  • Page 171: Integral Action (I Action)

    Integral action (I action) An integral action that continuously changes the manipulated value (MV) to eliminate the deviation (E) when there is any. The offset caused by a proportional action can be eliminated. In an integral action, the time taken for the manipulated value (MV) of the integral action after the generation of the deviation (E) to become the manipulated value (MV) of a proportional action is called integral time and expressed as T .

  • Page 172: Derivative Action (D Action)

    Derivative action (D action) A derivative action adds the manipulated value (MV) proportional to the variation rate to eliminate the deviation (E) when it occurs. A derivative action can prevent the control target from changing significantly due to noise. In a derivative action, the time taken for the manipulated value (MV) of the derivative action after the generation of the deviation (E) to become the value obtained by multiplying by the manipulated value (MV) of a proportional action is η...
