best method of implementing PID control for a small SCADA system

HI,

 

Can any one tell me what is efficient algorithm for implementing PID control using Labview.

 

Thanks,

PMK

Have you looked into using the toolkit?

 

Hope this helps.

Now Using LabVIEW 2019SP1 and TestStand 2019

Hi,

Thankyou for your reply,

I am seeing different algorithms like

Error-squared PID

Lead-lag compensation

Setpoint ramp generation

Gain scheduling

Multiloop cascade control

Feedforward control

Ratio/bias control

Integrator antiwindup

Bumpless transfer

which algorithm is sfficient among these?

You're not asking a sensible question.  These are features or choices in the way a controller is implemented.  Whether or not you need them depends on the system you are trying to control.  For example, gain scheduling refers to the idea of changing PID gains as the setpoint or another condition changes.  This is not often necessary, but is useful when your system can operate in distinct ranges that have different performance characteristics.  Bumpless transfer means you can go from manual operation to PID control without any sudden change in output.  Integrator anti-windup limits the effect of integral control to avoid a large overshoot when making a step in setpoint.  Ramping the setpoint is another way to avoid integral windup.

 

What is the problem you are trying to solve?

Hi PieMKay

 

There are plenty of algorithms available for implementation of PID. The right kind would depend on your SCADA system. Please let us know the kind of sensors/PLC's/PAC's you have connected to your SCADA/HMI and what kind of control /application you are aiming at. That would really help in assisting you better.
