Function description
The function block replicates a PID controller in parallel structure.
A system deviation ERR is formed by the difference between the reference variable SP and the controlled variable PV. The deviation ERR causes the manipulated variable Y to change.
Initialization Requirements
This function block performs an internal initialization in the first program cycle after a warm start or cold start (e.g. application download or power cycle) of the PLC program.
WARNING
UNEXPECTED OUTPUT BEHAVIOUR
Make sure that the function block is always invoked in the first program cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
EN and ENO can be configured as additional parameters.
For the proportional part of the controller to behave properly, the integral action must be reset (the input coefficient KI set to zero) for at least one scan time after a warm start or cold start.
If the integral action coefficient KI is set to a non-zero value at initialization, the function block behaves like an I or ID controller with no proportional part.
Properties
The function block has the following properties:
