The PID function executes a PID algorithm with a mixed (serial / parallel) or parallel structure. It has the following functions:
-
Calculation of proportional, integral and derivative actions in incremental or absolute format.
-
Antisaturation of the integral action.
-
Direct or inverse action.
-
Derivative from the process value or from the deviation.
-
Parametering of the transient gain of the derivative.
-
Integral band
-
Feed forward action to compensate for interference.
-
Dead band on deviation.
-
High and low limitation of the output signal.
-
Limit of the gradient of the output signal.
-
Output shifting, also called manual integrated.
-
Selecting Automatic / Manual operating mode.
-
Tracking Mode.
-
Autotuning of the principle coefficients.
The PID transfer function depends on the structure used (mixed or parallel structure):
Mixed structure
Parallel structure
