Input and output of PID controller
Input

The measured (controlled) value of the controlled object – PV, also known as process value; Usually comes from measuring units.

The set value of the controlled object – SP or SV, also known as the set value; Usually comes from the operating unit.

output:

The output value of the PID controller – CO, CV, or MV, also known as the PID output value; Generally output to handheld devices or output cards.
Parameter tuning of PID controller
The parameter tuning of PID controller is the core content of control system design. It determines the proportional coefficient, integration time,

and differentiation time of the PID controller based on the characteristics of the controlled process. There are many methods for tuning

PID controller parameters, which can be summarized into two categories: one is theoretical calculation tuning method. It mainly determines

the controller parameters through theoretical calculations based on the mathematical model of the system. The calculation data obtained by this

method may not be directly usable and must be adjusted and modified through engineering practice. The second is the engineering tuning method,

which mainly relies on engineering experience and is directly carried out in the testing of control systems. The method is simple and easy to master,

and is widely used in engineering practice. The engineering tuning methods for PID controller parameters mainly include critical ratio method, reaction

curve method, and attenuation method. Each of the three methods has its own characteristics, and their commonality is to conduct experiments and then

adjust the controller parameters according to engineering experience formulas. However, no matter which method is used, the controller parameters need to

be finally adjusted and improved in actual operation. The commonly used method now is the critical ratio method. The steps for tuning PID controller parameters

using this method are as follows: (1) Firstly, select a sufficiently short sampling period for the system to operate; (2) Only add a proportional control loop until the

system exhibits critical oscillation in response to the step response of the input. Record the proportional amplification factor and critical oscillation period at this

point; (3) Calculate the parameters of the PID controller through formulas under a certain degree of control.
