4 PID Control ProportionalIntegralDerivative (PID) Generic control loop feedback mechanism (or controller) widely used in industrial control systems PID controller calculates an "error" value as the difference between a measured process variable and a desired set point. The controller attempts to minimize the error by adjusting the process control inputs.

5 Control Loop Tuning Tuning a control loop is the adjustment of its control parameters (proportional band/gain, integral gain/reset, derivative gain/rate) to the optimum values for the desired control response. Stability (bounded oscillation) is a basic requirement, but beyond that, different systems have different behavior, different applications have different requirements, and requirements may conflict with one another. settling time rise time 2014 Aspen Technology, Inc.
