Over View of PID Controller

PID control stands for proportional plus derivative plus integral control. It is a feedback mechanism used in control systems that controls three parameters - proportional, integral and derivative - to achieve different control actions. PID combines advantages of proportional, derivative and integral control and is considered one of the best controllers, though it has limitations such as not performing well for optimal control and being a linear system sensitive to noise in the feedback path.

Over view of PID Controller

PID control stands for proportional plus derivative plus integral control. PID control is a feedback
mechanism which is used in control system. This type of control is also termed as three term control.
By controlling the three parameters - proportional, integral and derivative we can achieve different
control actions for specific work. PID is considered to be the best controller in the control system
family. Nicholas Minorsky published the theoretical analysis paper on PID controller. For PID control
the actuating signal consists of proportional error signal added with derivative and integral of the
error signal. Therefore, the actuating signal for PID control is:

There are some control actions which can be achieved by using any of the two parameters of the PID
controller. Two parameters can work while keeping the third one to zero. So PID controller becomes
sometimes PI (Proportion integral), PD (proportional derivative) or even P or I. The derivative term D
is responsible for noise measurement while integral term is meant for reaching the targeted value of
the system. In early days PID controller was used as mechanical device. These were pneumatic
controllers as they were compressed by air. Mechanical controllers include spring, lever or mass.
Many complex electronic systems are provided with PID control loop. In modern days PID controllers
are used in PLC (programmable logic controllers) in the industry. The proportional, derivative and
integral parameters can be expressed as - Kp, Kd and Ki. All these three parameters have effect on the
closed loop control system. It affects rise time, settling time and overshoot and also the steady state
error.

PID control combines advantages of proportional, derivative and integral control actions. Let us
discuss these control actions in brief.

Proportional control: here actuating signal for the control action in a control system is proportional
to the error signal. The error signal being the difference between the reference input signal and the
feedback signal obtained from input.

Derivative control: The actuating signal consists of proportional error signal added with derivative of
the error signal. Therefore, the actuating signal for derivative control action is given by:

Integral control: for integral control action the actuating signal consists of proportional error signal
added with integral of the error signal. Therefore, the actuating signal for integral control action is
given by:
Limitations of PID controller
PID controller has some limitations also apart from being one of the best controller in control action
system. PID control is applicable to many control actions but it does not perform well in case of
optimal control. Main disadvantage is the feedback path. PID is not provided with any model of the
process. Other drawbacks are that PID is linear system and derivative part is noise sensitive. Small
amount of noise can cause great change in the output.
