- Initial value of the controller to compensate for the
difference between the actual value and target
value (control deviation).
- The PID controller operates with extreme speed
and precision and consists of a P, I and D-component.
- The proportional range Xp indicates the temperature range within which the proportional component (P-component) of the controller represents
0 ¾ 100 % of the maximum actuating signal. If the
preset Xp is 10 K and the control deviation is 2 K,
for example, the P-component is 20 % of the
actuating signal. If the control deviation is 10 K or
more, the P-component is 100 % of the actuating
signal.
- The adjustment time is crucial for the I-component
of the actuating signal. It specifies the interval at
which an existing control deviation is integrated.
The higher the Tn, the slower the control deviation
is integrated and the more sluggish the control
becomes. A small Tn makes the control more
dynamic and eventually results in vibrations.
- The D-component of the actuating signal is formed
from the hold-back time Tv. It influences the speed
with which the actual value approaches the target
value and counteracts the P-component and
I-component. The greater the preset hold-back time
Tv, the more intensively the output signal is attenuated. Rule of thumb: Tv = Tn x 0.75.
- Attenuation time of the D-component. Rule of
thumb: Td = Tv x 0.15.
Effects of viscosity on the heat
transfer liquid
A control that is stable at low temperatures will usually be stable at
high temperatures. Conversely, if a system is just about stable at
high temperatures, it will most probably be unstable at lower temperatures, i.e. vibrate.
LOOP 28
Influence of control parameters on
the control action
Fig. 11: Ideal setting
Operation
If the Xp parameter selected is too large, the actual value will reach
the proportional range early and the P-component will be less than
100 % of the actuating signal. It takes longer to reach the target
value and as a result, the simultaneously integrated I-component
has more time to establish its actuating signal component. Once
the target value is reached, the excessive addition of the I-component causes the value to overshoot the target value. If proportional
range Xp is reduced, the P-component remains at 100 % for
longer. Consequently, the actual value approaches the target value
more quickly and the I-component has less time to integrate the
system deviation. The overshoot is reduced.
Fig. 12: Control parameter Xp too
large
Fig. 13: Control parameter Xp too
small
If the proportional range selected is too small, the P-component of
the actuating signal remains at 100 % for a long time. This value
decreases even faster within the proportional range, i.e. the
actuating signal decreases rapidly and the progress of the actual
value towards the target value comes almost to a complete stop.
The I-component, which only becomes effective now, causes the
actual value to move slowly towards the target value.
LOOP29
Operation
Fig. 14: Control parameters Tn and Tv
too small
In the case shown here, the preset I-component is too large
(parameter Tn too small, Tn must be increased). The I-component
integrates the control deviation until it becomes 0. If integration
proceeds too rapidly, the actuating signal, i.e. the output signal of
the controller, is too large. As a result, the actual value fluctuates
(fading) around the target value. The hold-back time (parameter
Tv) should be adapted using the formula: Tv = Tn x 0.75 adapted.
The actual value increases relatively sharply towards the specified
target value. The proportional area settings seem to be correct. If
the control deviation becomes smaller, the actual value
approaches the target value much more slowly. The integration
component (I-component) must compensate for the drastic reduction of the proportional component (P-component). In this case, the
I-component is integrated too slowly. The parameter Tn, which
specifies the integration interval, must therefore be reduced. The
hold-back time (parameter Tv) should be adapted using the formula: Tv = Tn x 0.75.

With hardware handshake: When connecting a thermostat to
the PC, use a 1:1 and not a null modem cable. The RS 232
interface can be connected directly to the PC using a 1:1 contacted cable.
Without hardware handshake: Set the corresponding operation
mode on the PC. Use protected connection lines. Connect the
protective screen with the connector shell. The lines are galvanically separated from the rest of the electronics. Do not connect unassigned pins.
It is easy to check the RS 232 interface when it is connected to
a PC with a Microsoft Windows operating system.
For Windows® 3.11 with the program "Terminal".
For Windows® 95/98/NT/XP with the program "HyperTerminal".
For operating systems Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
"HyperTerminal" is no longer part of the operating system.
Terminal programs are available on the Internet as freeware.
These programs offer features similar to "HyperTerminal" (for
example PuTTY). Search query "serial port terminal program".
