The PID controller experiment card SO4201-5R

General information
The UNI-TRAIN-I experiment card PID controller is an module used in the subject area of
automatic control technology. The PID controller is mainly used in continuous universal control
facilities.
The PID controller consists of analog computation circuits (wired operational amplifiers) with
potentiometers and toggle switches used for configuration and setting parameters. As the control
elements P, I and D can be enabled or disabled individually, every P-I-D combination is possible.
The following functions are available :

Setpoint-actual value comparator with three inputs

P control element, can be individually enabled and disabled

I control element, can be individually enabled and disabled

D control element, can be individually enabled and disabled

One summation output Y

Three control outputs YP, YI, YD

Block circuit diagram
The following diagram shows the block circuit diagram of the experiment card.

Enabling the P controller


The entire P component of the controller is enabled or disabled using the "P controller enabling
switch". The potentiometer and range switches are inoperable when the switch is in the disabled
state.

Setting the proportional gain KP


Proportional gain KP results from the value set by the "P controller's potentiometer" multiplied
by the value set by the "P controller range switch". E.g. :

KP = 5 x 10 = 50
The entire setting range spans from 0 up to 100.
Enabling the I controller
The entire I component of the controller is enabled or disabled using the "I controller enabling
switch". The potentiometer and range switches are inoperable when the switch is in the disabled
state.
.

Setting the reset or integral-action time TN


The integral-action time TN results from the value set using the "I controller potentiometer"
multiplied by the value of the "I controller range switch" and the value of the "I controller
encoder plug". E.g:

TN = 5 x 0.1 x 10s = 5s
The entire setting range spans from 0.01s up to 100s.

Setting the integral-action coefficient KI


If only the I control segment is used (with the P and D control components disabled), the
corresponding time constant is not termed reset time TN, but integration constant TI. Normally
the so-called integral-action coefficient KI is used here as the relevant controller parameter. The
following applies in this case:

KI = 1 / TI
The entire setting range spans from 0.01/s up to 100/s.

Enabling the D controller


The entire D component of the controller is enabled or disabled using the "D controller enabling
switch". The potentiometer and range switch are inoperable when the switch is in the disabled
state.

Setting the rate or derviative-action time TV


The rate time TV results from the value set by the "D controller potentiometer" multiplied by the
value of the "D controller range switch", e.g.

TV = 5 x 1s = 5s
The entire setting range spans from 0 up to 10s.

Setting the derivative-action coefficient KD


If only the D control segment is used (P and I control components are disabled), the
corresponding controller parameter is no-longer termed reset time TV, but referred to as the
derivative-action coefficient KD. It can be determined from TV. The following holds true:

KD = T V
The entire setting range goes from 0 up to 10s.

Setpoint input w
The setpoint input w is an adder input of the setpoint-actual value comparator. The permissible
signal voltage range is:

Uw = -10V...+10V

Extra setpoint input z


The extra setpoint input z is an adding input of the setpoint-actual value comparator. It is used to
forward feed disturbance variables or for setpoint corrections. The permissible signal voltage
range is:

Uperm = -10V...+10V

Actual value input x


The actual value input x is a subtractor input of the setpoint-actual value comparator. The
permissible voltage range is:

Ux = -10V...+10V

Measurement output error signal e


This operational amplifier output supplies the error signal e resulting from the setpoint-actual
value comparison. The permissible signal voltage range is:

Ue = -10V...+10V at a maximum load of 10mA


The error signal e is also the effective input signal of the control facility. The following applies:

e=w+z-x

PID controller summation ouptut


This operational amplifier output supplies the manipulated variable signal Y. It is generated by
adding up the individual controller signals YP, YI, YD. The permissible signal voltage range is:

UY = -10V...+10V at a maximum load of 10mA


The power actuator is always connected to the summation output Y, even if the control facility
operating is a single controller (P, I or D controller). The following applies:

Y = Y P + YI + YD

Control outputs P controller, I controller, D controller


These operational amplifier outputs carry the output signals YP, YI, YD of the individual
controllers. They are pure control outputs used, for example, to observe the what component of
the D control element is part of the aggregate manipulated variable Y. The permissible signal
voltage range is:

YP(YI, YD) = -10V...+10V at a maximum load of 10mA
