PID Controller
A PID Controller (Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller) is used in control systems to maintain a desired output by adjusting inputs based on feedback.
- Measured value: The actual value being measured (e.g., temperature, speed, pressure).
- Desired value: The setpoint or target value the system aims to maintain.
- Output: The controlled output signal that adjusts the process to reach the desired value.
- Sampling Time: - The interval at which the PID controller updates its calculations in seconds
- Threshold: - A small tolerance value used to determine acceptable error margins.
- Ki (Integral Costant): – Helps eliminate steady-state error.
- Kp (Proportional Costant): – Determines reaction to the current error.
- Kd (Derivative Costant): – Predicts future errors and helps smooth the response.
- Maximum: – The highest value the PID controller can output.
- Minimum: – The lowest value the PID controller can output.
