Page 22: Pid Operation
1 OVERVIEW MELSEC-Q 1.3 PID Operation The Q62HLC can perform PID control in measured value incomplete differentiation. 1.3.1 Operation method and formula The PID control in measured value incomplete differentiation is an operation method which puts the primary delay filter as the input for derivative control action, and performs PID operation with the deviation (E) after eliminating the high-frequency noise component.
Page 23: Actions In The Q62Hlc
1 OVERVIEW MELSEC-Q 1.3.2 Actions in the Q62HLC The Q62HLC performs PID operations in reverse action and forward action. (1) Reverse action In a reverse action, the measured value (PV) increases toward the set value (SV) as the manipulated value (MV) increases. The reverse action is effective for heat control.
Page 24: Proportional Action (P-Action)
1 OVERVIEW MELSEC-Q 1.3.3 Proportional action (P-action) (1) The proportional action calculates the manipulated value proportional to the deviation (difference between the set value and measured value). (2) With the proportional action, the relationship between the changes in the deviation and manipulated value can be expressed in the following formula: MV = Kp is a proportional constant and is called the proportional gain.
Page 25: Integral Action (I-Action)
1 OVERVIEW MELSEC-Q 1.3.4 Integral action (I-action) (1) When a deviation occurs, the integral action continuously changes the manipulated value to eliminate the deviation. The offset produced by the proportional action can be eliminated. (2) In the integral action, the time from the deviation occurrence until the manipulated value of the integral action becomes that of the proportional control action is called the integral time, and is indicated by T (3) Figure 1.8 shows the integral action for the step response with a constant deviation.
Page 26: Derivative Action (D-Action)
1 OVERVIEW MELSEC-Q 1.3.5 Derivative action (D-action) (1) When a deviation occurs, the derivative action adds the manipulated value proportional to the change speed to eliminate the deviation. This can protect the control target from a sudden change due to disturbance. (2) In the derivative action, the time from the deviation occurrence until the manipulated value of the derivative action becomes that of the proportional action is called the derivative time, and is indicated by T...
Page 27: Pid Action
1 OVERVIEW MELSEC-Q 1.3.6 PID action (1) The PID action performs control using the manipulated value calculated by proportional action, integral action, and derivative action. (2) The PID action for the step response when the deviation is constant is shown in Figure 1.10.

Not doing so may cause malfunction or failure. Even if pre-recorded data are set to the buffer memory in the module that was changed online and control is restarted, control cannot be restarted in the same control status since the data in Manipulated value (MV) (buffer memory address: 13, 14) is cleared once control is stopped...
Page 246 7 ONLINE MODULE CHANGE MELSEC-Q (3) Saving data After a module is changed, values in the buffer memory areas return to default (values read from FeRAM). Save and restore data in the buffer memory to continue previous operating status in the changed module. However, if data can be restored using sequence programs or initial settings, the save and restore processing is not required.
Page 247: Precautions After Module Change
7 ONLINE MODULE CHANGE MELSEC-Q 7.4.2 Precautions after module change (1) Restoring data Once a module is changed successfully, the online module change mode is terminated and restoration of data is enabled before restart of the control. Since the direct device access (MOV Un\G*) using a sequence program, FROM/TO instructions, and auto refresh setting are disabled at this point, restore data manually with test operation of GX Developer or GX Configurator-TC.
