Have a level control application that consists of a small chamber relative to the size of the incoming and outgoing pumps. I've done this type of control in the past with success using a straight PID on the return pump. However in this application the level control feedback supplied is noisy so I'm having to run a first-order low-pass filter on the signal and coupled with the Ramp rates on the pumps I'm finding too much lag in the system when the supply pump varies in speed. These pumps are positive displacement and the ratios can be determined so my question is would I be better to run ratio control on the return pump and use the PID to correct for the error in the ratio based on level. In other words the PID setpoint will be 0 error and whatever error occurs will be applied on top of the ratio to the return pump speed.
