Productivity 1000 Series PLC PID Ramp Soak

PID Ramp Soak InstructionThe purpose of a ramp soak instruction is to make gradual, controlled changes in temperature (Ramp), followed by a temperature hold (Soak) period. We will be using our Proportional-Integral-Derivative PID Instruction that we looked at last time to apply the ramp/soak instruction. Using the immersion heater in a cup of water to keep the temperature at a constant value, we will be adjusting the profile of the temperature as we increase the set point (Ramp) and hold that set point for a predetermined time. (Soak) We will be modifying our existing program from our PID loop instruction. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website.
