PID Control Doubt: Tuning Proportional, Integral & Derivative Gains

AI Thread Summary
PID controllers are essential in industrial applications for minimizing errors between set points (SP) and measured values (MV). Tuning the Proportional (P), Integral (I), and Derivative (D) gains is crucial for achieving this goal. There is typically a deadband around the set point, which can complicate the tuning process. Various techniques for tuning PID loops are available, and understanding when to apply these adjustments is key to effective control. Proper tuning ensures that the process operates with minimal error, aligning SP and MV effectively.

Hello,
I have been obsessed with PID control concept and i want to notice you my doubt here. PID controllers are very useful in industrial applications to make the error free process(learned from the web). Basic PID controller mechanism is to tune the values P(Proportional gain), I(Integral gain from the recent errors) and D(derivative gain on about future errors) that are useful to minimize the error after the measured process. That means, the set point(SP)(before the operation) and the measure value(MV)(after the operation) should be same.

My concerns about,

i) If you tune P,I and D values to make both SP and MV same, Is that real process was done with some error plus set point value. Here i have been messed up and did not understand well how and where these tuning was done(at last stage of the process to just show SP and MV are same or starting of the process?).

Any help!

Thank you.

If I understand your question, yes, there is normally a deadband around the set point value. If you are asking how to tune a loop, there are various techniques discussed at wiki under PID.
 
Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
