The SNAP-PID-V module is designed for users of Opto 22

SNAP Ethernet I/O™ systems with SNAP Ethernet I/O and SNAP
wireless LAN I/O brains. The SNAP-PID-V monitors input signals

and adjusts output signals to control one proportional-integral-
derivative (PID) loop, performing all necessary PID calculations PID Output
in the module itself.
Before the introduction of the SNAP-PID-V module, using a PID
loop with SNAP Ethernet I/O systems required an Opto 22 industrial
controller running an OptoControl strategy or a remote computer
running SCADA software. For non-Ethernet I/O units, the
multifunction B3000 brain could be used. The SNAP-PID-V module
makes this equipment unnecessary, since all PID calculations are
made in the module independent of a controller or other processor.
Applications

Typical applications for the SNAP-PID-V module include

temperature, pressure level, flow, and process control. The SNAP-
PID-V is ideal for remote installations or other environments where
communication links are subject to interruption. Since PID
calculations run locally on the I/O module, PID loop control can
continue independently if the communication link to the I/O system SNAP-PID-V
is broken.
The SNAP PID module is also useful in applications where
multiple PID loops must be controlled at one location. When
multiple PID loop calculations run on an industrial controller or
computer, a performance slowdown occurs. When additional
SNAP-PID-V modules are added to a SNAP rack, however, all

PID Velocity Algorithm Used

Change in output = Gain ´ (A + B – C)

where A = (Error at t 0) – (Error at t1)
B = ((Error at t0) / Integral ratio)
C = (Derivative ratio ´ (PV input at t0) – (2 ´ PV input at t1) + (PV input at t2))
and Error = Setpoint – PV
t = Scan time (the time between setpoint and process variable readings)
t0 = Time when the scan timer reaches zero. This is when PID is calculated.
t1 = The last time the scan timer reached zero, or (t0 – t).
t2 = The second-to-last time the scan timer reached zero, or (t0 – (2 ´ t)).
PV = Process Variable (the input signal)
Setpoint and process variable readings are taken when the scan timer reaches zero and the PID calculation is made.
Integral ratio = Integral / Scan time
Derivative ratio = Derivative / Scan time
