This document discusses the implementation of a PID temperature control system for an air heater using LabVIEW. Key components include a temperature sensor, heater, fan, USB analog I/O device, and PID control algorithm. The system measures temperature signals from the sensor, scales the voltages to temperatures, filters the data, runs PID control to calculate a heater output, and writes control signals back through the I/O device to regulate the temperature. Initial testing showed the system could become unstable with only small changes to the derivative time setting of the PID loop.

Advantech and National Instruments are two different companies , and they have compatibility issues.

Reading the Signal

Heater in off stage

Heater in on stage

On magnifying the range of the y axis, I found that the exact value of the voltage coming from the heater when it is switched on is 2.6 volt. Well , to make the device be recognized by the computer was very difficult.

PID control

Initially the PID control window looks like this

With a minute increase in the derivative time the system goes unstable

Scaling

Pt 100 sensor sends voltage signal to computer. But I want temperature

Converting voltage signals to temperature readings


We still get voltage readings, but it is plotted in such a way that it shows temperature

Temp Range (20-60 C) Voltage range (0-5 volt)

Voltage and temp bear linear relationship (y= mx + c)
