Chapter 5. Adjusting PID Values
5 - 1 What Is the PID Simulator?
„
Overview
The PID Simulator is software that aids in the adjustment of PID values. It has the
following features:
• PID control simulation
The PID Simulator uses operating data to create mathematical models
*
that
reproduce device characteristics, enabling it to simulate PID control of the
device on the PC. The Simulator allows you to adjust PID values quickly, without
repeatedly operating the device.
• Modeling Wizard
The Modeling Wizard allows you, by means of simple operations, to create
mathematical models.
• A user interface that makes it easy to adjust PID values
With the PID Simulator, PID values can be changed by simply using the mouse.
You can adjust PID values intuitively without typing in values.
• Checking the effects of PID control
You can check the effects of control algorithms before using them in actual
operation.
* A mathematical model is an expression of the physical phenomena of the PV and MV
of the device you want to control.
