Rochester, New York 585-234-5864 The PID control algorithm is used for the control of almost all loops in the process industries, and is also the basis for many advanced control algorithms and strategies. In order for control loops to work properly, the PID loop must be properly tuned. Standard methods for tuning loops and criteria for judging the loop tuning have been used for many years, but should be reevaluated for use on modern digital control systems. While the basic algorithm has been unchanged for many years and is used in all distributed control systems, the actual digital implementation of the algorithm has changed and differs from one system to another and from commercial equipment to academia. We will discuss controller tuning methods and criteria. Also discussed will be the digital PID control algorithm, how it works, the various implementation methods and options, and how these affect the operation and tuning of the controller.
