PID Programming Using RSLogix 500

Learn PID Control Programming!
PID Programming Using RSLogix 500 teaches how you can effectively use RSLogix 500 PID instructions in your ladder logic programming, how to set-up parameters for the instruction and procedures for tuning the control loop to your application process.

Some of the topics contained in this book include:
•The PID Control Algorithm and how it works.
•Programming & Setup of the RSLogix 500 PID instruction.
•Understanding the Control Block Addressing.
•Proper selection of the Operational Time Mode.
•Setting an appropriate Loop Update Time interval.
•Scaling for Process & Control Variables.
•Important PID Terminology & Definitions.
•The Ziegler-Nichols Method of Tuning.

The main objectives of this book are to provide a beneficial and practical resource to those who may be new to ladder logic programming and the various methods used in process control applications.
The author's career experience of 30+ years has been in the fields of industrial electronics and electrical power distribution, while his educational background is in technical education. This book, much like the other books in his series on PLC programming, industrial networks and VFD troubleshooting, provides clear and concise explanation and examples from a “shop-floor" perspective.
