The XController library is a simple tool, used by controllers adopting the PID control method, to supply an object that is “ready” for the user to perform parameterization commands and to manipulate the controller actions in a faster way. Via bar charts and displays, the user can both send values to the parameters and receive them directly from the device.
This library has seven properties:
- SP – setpoint
- PV – process variable
- MV – manipulated variable
- Gain (Kp) – proportional band
- Integral (Ti) – integral time
- Derivative (Td) – derivative time
- Automatic/Manual – this variable must be turned on with the parameter that defines whether the controller is in automatic mode (generating an output according to the error) or in manual mode (making it possible for the user to manipulate the output).
NOTE: the XController library does not have a built-in PID control logic in it settings, and this is just a graphic tool that helps developing applications.
