7.3.3. Proportional, Integral and Derivative Control (PID)
A proportional controller continuously adjusts the power, so the heat input to the
process is approximately in balance with the process heat requirements in order to
maintain a stable temperature. The range of temperature over which power is adjusted
is from 0% to 100%. This temperature range is called the ‘Proportional Band’. The
proportional band is adjustable for differing process conditions (zero proportional band
returns the controller to basic on / off control).
The temperature difference between the stabilised temperature and the set point is
called the ‘Offset’. The offset can be reduced by adjusting the integral term of the PID
controller. This is achieved using the integrative action time and integrative action reset.
A derivative function can be combined with the proportional controller to provide
the controller with the ability to shift the proportional band either up to or down to
compensate for rapidly changing temperature (i.e. when an oven door is opened or
cooler fluid is introduced into a controlled vessel). The derivative function increases the
controller gain during temperature changes, and can help to reduce overshoot on
start-up.
Hence, a three-mode PID controller combines the proportional, integral and derivative
actions, to allow the set point temperature to be approached relatively smoothly with
minimal overshoot.
7.4. Front Panel Controls
The CN-200D controller has four front panel keys as described below.
7.4.1. The key is used to increase the value of the parameter shown on the display or
to scroll through the parameter menu.
7.4.2. The key is used to decrease the value of the parameter shown on the display
or to scroll through the parameter menu.
7.4.3. The key is a dual function key. It is used to display and store the value of the
selected parameter when in ‘Programming’ mode. When used with the
it is used to display the ‘Setpoint’ value.
7.4.4. The is an ‘Exit / Stand-by button. Press of 3 seconds to turn unit on or off.
7.5. Operating Modes
7.5.1. The MB810B has two modes of operation: Function mode and Programming mode.
The unit enters Function mode immediately following power up in auto test phase.
In Function mode the display shows the temperature measured by the temperature
sensing probe. The output power will also be switched on or off as appropriate. If the
output power is on, the amber neon indicator on the front panel will be illuminated.
The only parameter which can be altered in the function mode is the set-point. See
7.7.1.
7.5.2. In Programming mode, all the other parameters apart from set-point can be altered. To
gain access to the programming mode from Function mode, press the keys
