PID Programming Using RSLogix 500 teaches how you can effectively use RSLogix 500 PID instructions in your ladder logic programming, how to set-up all the parameters for the instruction and procedures for tuning the control loop to your application process. Some of the topics contained in this book • The PID Control Algorithm and how it works. • Programming & Setup of the RSLogix 500 PID instruction. • Understanding the Control Block Addressing. • Proper selection of the Operational Time Mode. • Setting an appropriate Loop Update Time interval. • Scaling for Process & Control Variables. • Important PID Terminology & Definitions. • The Ziegler-Nichols Method of Tuning. The main objectives of this book are to provide a beneficial and practical resource to those who may be new to ladder logic programming and the various methods used in process control applications.
