PID for process control
The following is an example of a process controller
used in a ventilation system.
In a ventilation system, the temperature is to be setta-
ble from - 5 - 35°C with a potentiometer of 0-10 Volt.
The set temperature must be kept constant, for which
purpose the integrated process controller is to be
used.
The control is of the inverse type, which means that
when the temperature increases, the ventilation speed
is increased as well, so as to generate more air. When
the temperature drops, the speed is reduced.
The transmitter used is a temperature sensor with a
working range of -10-40°C, 4-20 mA.
Min./Max. speed 10/50 Hz.
NOTE
The example shows a two-wire transmit-
ter.
1. Start/Stop
2. Temperature reference -5-35°C, 0-10 V (set-
point)
3. Temperature transmitter -10-40°C, 4-20 mA
(feedback).
