Hi all,
This is my first post, so please be gentle if possible.
I'm building a project using Siemens TIA Portal V13 SP1 Update7.
It's a fairly simple application, and I'm using 'step logic' to make it as clear as possible.
I need to use a PI controller to control a room to a set temperature. For this, I'm using PID_Temp.
I only want to enable my PI loop when in a certain 'step' of my program. So I've put this condition on the 'EN' of my controller.
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but do I still need to change my controller Mode to 'inactive' once I come out of this step? As the enable conditions for the controller to function will no longer be met.
As you can probably tell, this is my first time using a PID controller.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Cheers,
LB
