Customer benefits
PID controllers are built into all R/H-CPUs as stand-
ard. PID controllers measure the actual value of a
physical variable, for example, temperature or pres-
sure, and compare the actual value with the setpoint.
Based on the resulting error signal, the controller
calculates a manipulated variable that causes the
process value to reach the setpoint as quickly and
stably as possible.
The PID controllers offer you the following ad-
vantages:
Simple configuration and programming through
•
integrated editors and blocks
Simple simulation, visualization, commissioning
•
and operation via PG and HMI
Automatic calculation of the control parameters
•
and tuning during operation
No additional hardware and software required
•
Alarms enable you to display events from process
execution in the S7-1500R/H redundant system and
to quickly identify, accurately locate, and correct
errors.
