PID algorithm
The PID (Proportional/Integral/Derivative) controller measures the time interval between two
calls and then evaluates the results for monitoring the sampling time. A mean value of the
sampling time is generated at each mode changeover and during initial startup. This value is
used as reference for the monitoring function and is used for calculation. Monitoring includes
the current measuring time between two calls and the mean value of the defined controller
sampling time.
The output value for the PID controller consists of three components:
● P (proportional): When calculated with the "P" component, the output value is proportional
● I (integral): When calculated with the "I" component, the output value increases in
● D (derivative): When calculated with the "D" component, the output value increases as a
