Figure 3-6. The Advanced Algorithm "PIDB"
The PIDB algorithm provides clipping limits for its I, D, SD terms and the
value sent to <outp_chan>. Values for these terms are not allowed to range
outside of the set limits. The variables that control clipping are:
I term limits;
D term limits;
SD term limits;
<outp_chan> limits;
The PIDB algorithm provides Alarm Limits for the process variable PV and
the Error term variable Error. If these limits are reached, the algorithm sets
the value of <alarm_chan> true and generates a VXIbus interrupt. The
variables that control alarm limits are:
Process Variable (from <inp_chan>); PV_max, and PV_min
Error term alarm limits;
The max and min limits for clipping and alarms are set to 9.9E+37 and
-9.9E+37 respectively when the algorithm is defined. This effectively turns
the limits off until you change these values with the ALG:SCALAR and
ALG:UPDATE commands as described in "Pre-setting PID Variables and
Coefficients" later in this section.
The PIDB algorithm provides for manual control with "bumpless" transfer
between manual and automatic control. The variables that control the
manual mode are:
Auto/Manual control;
Manual output control; Man_out (defaults to current auto value)
