\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this chapter we will get you familiar with the PIDassist program. PIDassist was written to help you with several of the steps required to implement a PID control. It lets you simulate a range of processes and the interaction with a controller. The controller section uses identical math to the sample SPLat programs provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should now install PIDassist and launch it. If you have a SPLat controller available connect it to the computer. It will act as a “dongle” to unlock some of the features of PIDassist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next several sections describe the various parts of PIDassist. In the next chapter we will outline the steps to take to investigate your process, establish a set of PID control parameters and implement a control program in SPLat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything in PIDassist is done with levels (voltages or whatever you want to call them) normalised to the range 0 to 1. The full input range of the controller is 0 to 1, and its output range is 0 to 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PIDassist is a work in progress, so please be understanding if the screen shots vary somewhat from the program version you have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
