Basic Control Modes
Next we consider the three basic control modes starting
with the simplest mode, proportional control.

e t error signal
ysp t set point
ym t measured value of the controlled variable
(or equivalent signal from the sensor/transmitter)

• We illustrate the elimination of derivative kick by considering
the parallel form of PID control in Eq. 8-13.
• Replacing de/dt by –dym/dt gives
Reverse or Direct Action
• The controller gain can be made either negative or positive.
• For proportional control, when Kc > 0, the controller output p(t)
increases as its input signal ym(t) decreases, as can be seen by
combining Eqs. 8-2 and 8-1:

Manual Mode
Controller output, p(t), is adjusted manually.
Manual Mode is very useful when unusual
