PID [Proportional/Integral/Derivative] Closed Loop Control
Rockwell Software 2000
Entering Parameters
PID File - (MicroLogix 1200 and 1500 only) Specify a PID file. If you have not already defined a PD filetype among your data files, it will be created for you. The file length is fixed at 23 words. The PD file replaces the old integer file control block.
Control Block Length - (Not valid with MicroLogix 1200 or 1500) Specify an integer file, for example N9:27. The file length is fixed at 23 words.
Process Variable PV - The element address that stores the process input value. This address can be the location of the analog input word where the value of the input A/D is stored. You can also enter an integer address if you choose to pre-scale your input value to the range 0-16383.
Control Variable CV - The element address that stores the PID output. The output value ranges from 0-16383, with 16383 being the 100% "ON" value. This is normally an integer address, so that you can scale the PID output range to the particular analog range your application requires.
Setup Screen - Double click Setup Screen on the instruction to bring up a display that prompts you for other parameters you must enter to fully program the PID instruction.
