11.8 Proportional Control
Description
Proportional control is one of the simplest ways to control method, controller manipulated value proportional to input error signal,
this chapter explains how to set related parameters.

Setting step
1. Select control action
2. Determine the proportional band
3. Calculate symmetry value, symmetry value = ( proportional band maximum - proportional band minimum) / 2
4. Set SV, SV = Midpoint of proportional band
5. Full range = (Range maximum – range minimum)
6. Calculate Error% = (symmetry value / Full range) x 100
7. Calculate P = (Error% x 2)
Example 1 :
INP1 = K1(-50.0~600.0) when PV in the range of 90.0 ~ 100.0 output proportional(decrease) SV= ? P= ?
1. OUD = HEAT(Reverse)
2. Proportional band 90.0~100.0
3. Symmetry value = (proportional band maximum - proportional band minimum) / 2 (100.0 - 90.0) / 2 = 5.0
4. SV = Midpoint of proportional band SV= 95.0
5. Full range = (Range maximum – range minimum) 600.0 - (-50.0) = 650.0
6. Error% = (Symmetry value / Full range) x 100 (5.0 / 650.0) x 100 = 0.76923
7. P= (Error% x 2) 0.76923 x 2 = 1.5384(approx 1.5)
Example 2 :
INP1= AN4(0.0~100.0) when PV in the range of 0.0 ~ 100.0 output proportional(increase)
proportional band 0.0~100.0
Output 0%
0.0
1. OUD = COOL(Direct)
2. Proportional band 0.0~100.0
3. Symmetry value = (proportional band maximum - proportional band minimum) / 2 (100.0 - 0.0) / 2 = 50.0
4. SV = Midpoint of proportional band SV= 50.0
5. Full range = (Range maximum – range minimum) 100.0 - 0.0 = 100.0
6. Error% = (Symmetry value / Full range) x 100 (50.0 / 100.0) x 100 = 50.0
7. P= (Error% x 2) 50.0 x 2 = 100.0
Notes
1. When using proportional control I1 and D1 must be set to 0
2. Full range please check Chapter 4 "Input Range Table"
3. Only using proportional control will eventually have a steady state error
