PID Function Block Misc ↓ Params ↓ Ports ↓

The `PID` function block is responsible for implementing a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller with various configurable parameters and operational modes. This function block supports setting PID coefficients, processing measured values, and managing the control output.

Name Type Default Min. Max. Description
pid_no Integer -1 -2147483648 2147483647 The identifier for the PID instance.
ISR_mode Boolean False False True Indicates whether the PID controller operates in Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) mode.
nSensorID Integer 0 0 n/a Specifies the sensor ID associated with the PID controller.
P Float 0.0 0.0 n/a Proportional coefficient for the PID controller.
I Float 0.0 0.0 n/a Integral coefficient for the PID controller.
D Float 0.0 0.0 n/a Derivative coefficient for the PID controller.
nOutputMode Integer 0 0 n/a Defines the output mode for the PID controller.
In Ev. Description
init Event to initialize the PID controller with the provided configuration.
new_measure Event to provide a new measured value to the PID controller.
set_point_value Event to set the target setpoint value for the PID controller.
Data In Description
P Proportional coefficient value.
I Integral coefficient value.
D Derivative coefficient value.
Data Out Description
pid_output The output value from the PID controller after processing the input.
errno Error number if the PID operation fails.
Out Ev. Description
done Event triggered when a PID operation is successfully completed.
err Event triggered when an error occurs during PID processing.
Toolbox core/io/net/netx/ui/media/dsp/ Version v1.0
Licence Type MPL2.0 Component Supplier inx ltd.
Minimum DCC A0000 Profiles All.
