This technical note explains the basic elements of a proportional integral derivative (PID) control loop, shows you how to use our free online PID tuner, and discusses the best ways to configure the built-in PID loops on Opto 22 groov EPIC edge controllers, groov RIO edge I/O, and SNAP PAC controllers and brains.
In the online tuner you input specific data for your real-world PID loop. The tuner calculates functional P, I, and D values to tune your loop, as well as a suggested scan time.
The tuner is optimized for Opto 22 Velocity Type C and similar algorithms.
