PID Control

PID Control

Definition

A classic control algorithm that regulates a controlled object through proportional, integral, and derivative components.

Alias

Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) Control

Detailed explanation

A PID controller calculates its control output by combining proportional (P), integral (I), and derivative (D) terms based on the error between the setpoint (SV) and process variable (PV). It is widely used in industrial applications such as temperature control.

Calculation Formula

MV(t) = Kp[e(t) + 1/Ti∫e(t)dt + Td·de(t)/dt]

Typical Value

Kp: 0.1-10, Ti: 0.1-100s, Td: 0.01-10s
