TI-505 PID problem

PV: A position from 0-100%
Output of PLC: 4 to 20 ma that goes through a -10 +10 Vdc converter for proportionnal valves
Proportionnal valves: +10, -10 Vdc (10Vdc to 0Vdc move forward,0Vdc to -10Vdc move backward)

Example of desired operation:
SP% 0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100

PV % 0 20 40 55 75 85 90 95 100 100

SORTIE(ma) 12 15 17 18 16 15 14 13 12 12

The problem is that when I have my desired setpoint (setpoint = process variable) my output should always be 12ma. So if I have a setpoint of zero ad a PV of zero my output should be 12ma ! How can I achieve this ?

 
I don't understand your problem. It looks like it does what you want.

You can see in your example that when the PV reaches the SP the output drops back to 12ma which is what you desired.

It looks like your process is an integrating process (type 1) because the output can go back to a neutral value when the PV reaches the SP.
 
The example I gave is not a realtime simulation. My problem is that I dont think that the PLC will be giving an output of 12ma if I have:
SP=0
PV=0
output = ?
The first time the setup will be tried I dont think that the output will be 12ma
 
You can simply solve this problem by separating your PID control from your valve positioning (driving your output). At the end of your PID calculation take your PID output and other values that you require such at PV and SP and "cook up" your own output to drive your analogue output as you desire.

I use this sort of approach all the time particularly when I have a dual output PID where perhaps I want to bias the output to two
actuators. For example as North and South burners.
