Hello all.
Kinda-Sorta related to PLCs, but does anyone know a good place to learn about PID loops, applications, and tuning? I have a very small understanding after watching a few videos, but so far it has all been theory and not applications or numbers. Like I understand that the proportional control is used for bang bang processes like a thermostat I presume. From the material I have read, the integral part is like a reset tick rate. Still a little fuzzy on that because I though the integral was the accumulation of a function? And for the derivative, I honestly cant find anything too clear and have no understanding of its role.
Also, another question. Are PID loops mainly used with all analog components?
Thanks,
TL
