Parameters:

Parameter

Description

 

 

 

 

enable

When enabled through a contact, the PID function is performed.

 

 

SP

SP is the control loop or process set point. Set using PV Counts, the PID adjusts the

 

output CV so that PV matches SP (zero error).

 

 

PV

Process Variable input from the process being controlled, often a %AI input.

 

 

MAN

When energized to 1 (through a contact), the PID block is in MANUAL mode. If the

 

PID block is on manual off, the PID block is in automatic mode.

 

 

UP

If energized along with MAN, it adjusts the CV up by 1 CV per solution.*

 

 

DN

If energized along with MAN, it adjusts the CV down by 1 CV per solution.*

 

 

RefArray

Address is the location of the PID control block information (user and internal

Address

parameters). Uses 40 %R words that cannot be shared.

 

 

ok

The ok output is energized when the function is performed without error. It is off if

 

error(s) exist.

 

 

CV

CV is the control variable output to the process, often a %AQ analog output.

 

 

*Incremented (UP parameter) or decremented (DN parameter) by one (1) per access of the PID function.
