I'm trying to model a PI controller.
The way it works is that for every 5 minutes of positive error an integrator number is incremented by 1. I want to know how to "reset" the timer for the discrete-time integrator so that when there is a zero crossing (i.e. positive to negative) a timer...
All the heaters are controlled at once. I can not find any autotuning options in the software and I don't believe there are any. I'm not sure what the PID controller model is but the input is fed into the computer so doesn't that mean it is a "software PID (with feedforward)"? In the...
I'm really new to control systems but have some basic knowledge...
The problem I have is of a solderbath that is heated by 10 electrical heaters along the sides and bottom. Heaters are controlled by the computer using a duty cycle. The temperature of the solderbath is read at a thermocouple...
