10 PID setup
(PATH: Menu/PID Setup)
PID control is proportional, integral and derivative control action that can provide smooth
regulation of a process. Before configuring the transmitter, the following process characteristics
must be identified.
Identify the control direction of the process:
Deaeration-direct acting where increasing measurement produces increasing control output
such as controlling the feed of
a reducing agent to remove oxygen from boiler feedwater
Aeration-reverse acting where increasing measurement produces decreasing control output,
such as controlling an aerator blower speed to maintain a desired O

concentration in
fermentation or wastewater treatment
Identify the control output type based on the control device to be used:
Pulse Frequency-used with pulse input metering pump
Pulse Length-used with solenoid valve
Analog-used with current input device such as electric drive unit, analog input metering pump
or current-to-pneumatic (I/P) converter for pneumatic control valve
Default control settings provide linear control which is appropriate for dissolved oxygen. The
non-linear control settings are used in pH/ORP models of this transmitter. Therefore ignore
settings of deadband and corner points in the Tuning Parameter section below.
To counteract this, the instrument allows for adjustable non-linear control with settings of
a deadband around the setpoint, corner points further out and proportional limits at the ends
of control as shown in the figure below. Determine the appropriate settings for each of these
control parameters based on the shape of the process titration curve.
