Time Proportional Control
Time Proportional Control is more commonly known as Duty Cycle or Pulse Width Modulation.
It applies PID control to the activation of a relay rather than using an analog output.
The TPC output is defined as the percent of time that a relay is on (% On Time), during a user
selected time period (Time Period). As the control output increases the on time increases:
The proportional, integral, and derivative are defined the same as analog PID control, but
use % On Time instead of % Output:
Proportional On Time (%) = [Gain
×
(PV – SP) x 100 / (URV – LRV)] + BIAS
Proportional and Integral Control:
% On Time = [Gain
×
100 / (URV – LRV)] + [(PV – SP) + 1/I
Σ

Derivative Mode:

As with analog PID control, TPC can be direct acting (URV > LRV) or reverse acting (LRV >
URV). For more detail see Section X.1, PID Control Introduction.
