Chapter 7
PID Built-In Function Block
This chapter describes the PID (Proportional plus Integral plus Derivative) built-in function block,
which is used for closed-loop process control. The PID function compares feedback from a process
variable (PV) with a desired process set point (SP) and updates a control variable (CV) based on the
error.
The PID function uses PID loop gains and other parameters stored in a 40-word reference array of
16-bit integer words to solve the PID algorithm at the desired time interval.
