PID
PID controller with anti-windup mechanism and manually controllable output.
Input
Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ACTUAL | REAL | Measured process variable |
SET_POINT | REAL | Set point |
KP | REAL | Proportional gain factor |
TN | REAL | Integral time |
TV | REAL | Derivative time |
Y_MANUAL | REAL | Sets the control signal Y manually while ignoring any offset, if MANUAL is TRUE |
Y_OFFSET | REAL | Offsets the control signal Y |
Y_MIN | REAL | Lower limit of the control signal Y |
Y_MAX | REAL | Upper limit of the control signal Y |
RESET | BOOL | TRUE resets the integrator to zero and sets the control signal Y to Y_OFFSET |
MANUAL | BOOL | TRUE resets the integrator to zero and enables setting the control signal Y manually |
Output
Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Y | REAL | Control signal |
LIMITS_ACTIVE | BOOL | TRUE, IF (Y ≥ Y_MAX) OR (Y ≤ Y_MIN) |
Functional description
The ideal standard form of the PID controller is given by:

, where


Integral windup can be prevented by setting the limits of the control signal. Once the control signal reaches the limits, the integrator is stopped at its current value.
