  2. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    A block diagram of a PID controller in a feedback loop. r(t) is the desired process variable (PV) or setpoint (SP), and y(t) is the measured PV. The distinguishing feature of the PID controller is the ability to use the three control terms of proportional, integral and derivative influence on the controller output to apply accurate and optimal ...

  3. Piping and instrumentation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_instrumentation...

    A Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID or PID) is a detailed diagram in the process industry which shows process equipment together with the instrumentation and control devices. It is also called as mechanical flow diagram (MFD).

  4. Ziegler–Nichols method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziegler–Nichols_method

    The Ziegler–Nichols tuning method is a heuristic method of tuning a PID controller.It was developed by John G. Ziegler and Nathaniel B. Nichols.It is performed by setting the I (integral) and D (derivative) gains to zero.

  5. Distributed control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_control_system

    A typical application is a PID controller fed by a flow meter and using a control valve as the final control element. The DCS sends the setpoint required by the process to the controller which instructs a valve to operate so that the process reaches and stays at the desired setpoint. (see 4–20 mA schematic for example).

  6. Control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_system

    In open-loop control, the control action from the controller is independent of the "process output" (or "controlled process variable"). A good example of this is a central heating boiler controlled only by a timer, so that heat is applied for a constant time, regardless of the temperature of the building.

  7. PID - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID

    PID controller (proportional-integral-derivative controller), a control concept used in automation; Piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID), a diagram in the process industry which shows the piping of the process flow etc. Principal ideal domain, an algebraic structure; Process identifier, a number used by many operating systems to identify a ...

  8. Industrial control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_control_system

    An industrial control system (ICS) is an electronic control system and associated instrumentation used for industrial process control.Control systems can range in size from a few modular panel-mounted controllers to large interconnected and interactive distributed control systems (DCSs) with many thousands of field connections.

  9. Integral windup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_windup

    Within modern distributed control systems and programmable logic controllers, it is much easier to prevent integral windup by either limiting the controller output, limiting the integral to produce feasible output, [5] or by using external reset feedback, which is a means of feeding back the selected output to the integral circuit of all ...
