I are working on a project using a plc to control a electric heater for boiling purposes (boiling a pot of water). i am new to plcs and have a question to ask.
all off the shelf temperature controller has PID incorporated. Since we are using a PLC, can i use the temperature transmitter (which gives us the temperature of the liquid in a pot) and software PID (programmed in the PLC) to control the electric heater (analog output).
Thanks,
