Click PLC PID Instruction and Autotuning using Factory IO

A PID (Proportional, Integral, and Derivative) control is possible with the Click PLC. The Click Programming Software version 2.50 now includes PID. This features 8 full-featured control loops with an easy graphical user interface (GUI). PID will run on all of the Ethernet-enabled Click PLCs. We will be using this PID along with a Factory IO scene to demonstrate PID control and Autotuning using our Click PLC. Here are some references on PID control: PID without a Ph.D. By Tim Wescott http://igor.chudov.com/manuals/Servo-Tuning/PID-without-a-PhD.pdf Understanding PID in 4 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbmEUi2p-nA PID Control – A brief introduction PID Controllers Explained https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR0hOmjaHp0 Who Else Wants to Learn about On-Off and PID Control? https://accautomation.ca/who-else-wants-to-learn-about-on-off-and-pid-control/ Our Factory IO scene will be controlling the level of water in a tank. PID will be used to maintain the level based on a dial pot knob on the control panel. Let’s get started! More information can be obtained on our website.
