1 INTRODUCTION The AX460 Single Input pH Analyzer has been enhanced with the addition of Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control. PID control can be either relay output (Time Proportioning or Pulse Frequency) or analog output. The control output can be configured as either a (Reverse or Direct Acting) or as a (Bi-directional Single PID Controller...
1 INTRODUCTION… 1.1.2 Direct Acting (Acid) Single PID Control – Fig. 1.3 Direct acting control is used when the process pH is greater than the required output pH. Normally, acid is added to the sample to decrease the pH value. 100% Control Output...
…1 INTRODUCTION …1.2 Dual (Bi-directional) PI Controller – Figs 1.4 and 1.5 Dual (bi-directional) control is used if the pH value must be controlled within specified upper and lower limits. The minimum span between set points is 0.5pH. 100% Control Output Reverse Acting Direct Acting...
