5.5.15 PID control
PID control, a common mode for process control, is mainly used to adjust the VFD output frequency
or output voltage by performing scale-division, integral and differential operations on the difference
between feedback signal of controlled variables and signal of the target, thus forming a negative
feedback system to keep the controlled variables above the target. It is applicable to flow control,
pressure control, temperature control, and so on. The following is the basic schematic block diagram
for output frequency regulation.

Introduction to the working principles and control methods for PID control:
Proportional control (Kp): When the feedback is different from the reference, the output will be
proportional to the difference. If such a difference is constant, the regulating variable will also be
constant. Proportional control can respond to feedback changes rapidly, however, it cannot eliminate
the difference by itself. A larger proportional gain indicates a faster regulating speed, but a too large
gain will result in oscillation. To solve this problem, set the integral time to a large value and the
differential time to 0, run the system only with proportional control, and then change the reference to
observe the difference (that is, static difference) between the feedback signal and reference. If the
static difference occurs in the direction of reference change (such as reference increase, where the
feedback is always less than the reference after system stabilizes), continue increasing the
proportional gain; otherwise, decrease the proportional gain. Repeat this process until the static
difference becomes small.
Integral time (Ti): When feedback is different from reference, the output regulating variable
accumulates continuously, if the difference persists, the regulating variable will increase continuously
