CASCADE control uses two “control blocks”. The output of one controller is the setpoint of a second controller. Ratio and bias (see Steps 20 & 21) need to be applied to the connecting setpoint. Because of the interaction between controllers, cascade control will only apply to controllers 1 and 2, or 3 and 4, used in pairs, with 1 and 3 being the first controller.

FEEDFORWARD adds a 0-100% value to the PID output. When feedforward is used, the feedforward source (Step 22) is scaled to provide a 0-100% value to work with the loop output of 0-100%. Depending on the limits of the input, and the scaling, the FF-term may be limited to less than 100%.

SP + PID adds a term that makes the output primarily proportional to the setpoint, but with PID capability added. This is used primarily for flow control.
