Wider acceptance is given to PID temperature controllers for various applications used in industries. Though these are simply structured components, still industries are using them for controlling issues in efficient way. Here, we will discuss about the controller design that assist companies to regulate liquid level of coupled tank system. Industries like food processing, industrial chemical processing, nuclear power generation plant, and pharmaceutical industries are using application of liquid level control.
The Basic Purpose of PID Controllers is to Regulate:
- Temperature
- Flow
- Motion
How you can set PID Temperature Controller Values to Hold a set Temperature?
Proportional Integral Derivative controller is widely accepted temperature controller, which monitors the variations in temperature and tries to lower the variations by conveying or eliminating heat. It basically uses an algorithm to discover apt parameters by determining the current or present state and making adjustments accordingly.
Steps for Using PID Temperature Controller:
- You need to determine the temperature at which PID needs to be set. Most of the environments require room temperature; however there are few cases when you need to set specific temperature to make enhancements in manufacturing process.
- In case you have a doubt that PID is having an error, simply check the error using formula:
(Error) = (Set point) – (Measurement)
Here set point is the temperature you desire, and measurement is the temperature you observe. - Then find each value corresponding to the PID letters.
Controller output = error X 100/ proportional band - Next is finding I (integral of the controller output) and D (Derivative of controller output) values
- Now you got the desired values for PID
- Enter each of them into the controller and set the temperature.
