MSC-3 Start Up
P.I.D. Controller
PID controllers (also referred to as three-term controllers) are used to stabilise and/or regulate a process
at a desired operating point. PID controllers function by finding the difference between the required
operating point (the Setpoint Variable or SV) and a measured process quantity (the Process Variable or
PV). The difference is called the “error”. In regulator mode, the PID controller operates to reduce the
error to zero at which point the measured quantity is equal to the required operating point.

Application examples:
• Stair Pressurisation Control: An air pressure transducer and the PID controller of the MSC-3 are
configured to run in essential services override (ESO) mode.
• Cooling Tower Fan Control: A water temperature transducer and the PID controller of the MSC-3
are configured to run typically in remote mode.
• Water Pumping with Automatic Pressure Control: A water pressure transducer and the PID
controller of the MSC-3 are configured to run typically in remote mode.
