Application Example
This application example demonstrates a PID control for a heater to keep the temperature at 200°C.
In this example, when the program is started, the PID instruction first executes auto tuning according to the designated AT
parameters, such as AT sampling period, AT control period, AT set point, and AT output manipulated variable, and also the
temperature data inputted to the analog input module. The control output remains on to keep the heater on until the tem-
perature reaches the AT set point of 150°C. Auto tuning determines PID parameters such as proportional gain, integral
time, derivative time, and control action.
When the temperature reaches 150°C, PID action starts to control the temperature to 200°C using the derived PID param-
eters. The heater is turned on and off according to the output manipulated variable calculated by the PID action. When the
heater temperature is higher than or equal to 250°C, an alarm light is turned on by the high alarm output.
The analog input module data is also monitored to force off the heater power switch and force on the high alarm light.
Operand Settings
Note 1: The output manipulated variable during auto tuning is a constant value. In this example, the AT output manipulated
variable is set to the maximum value of 100 (100%), so the control output (S2+6) remains on during auto tuning.
Note 2: When analog I/O module FC4A-L03AP1 is used for the PID instruction, select the binar y data to make sure that the
process variable takes a value of 0 through 4095.
