(15C) Ziegler-Nichols PID tuning - Dwight Sturrock - 08-22-2014 01:43 AM
Ziegler-Nichols Proportional Integral Deriviative controller tuning program for the HP15C. PID controllers are commonly used in industry to provide feedback for a process.

INPUT:
T-
Z- type of loop: 1=Proportional only; 2=Proportional Integral; 3=Proportional Integral Derivative
Y- Ku
X- Pu
OUTPUT:
T-
Z- Kd
Y- Ki
X- Kp
Increase P only on the PID controller until the output of the loop begins to oscillate: this number is "Ku". "Pu" is the period of that oscillation.
EXAMPLE- We want a PI loop- type 2. Ku is 5, period of oscillation is 1 min.

Set your controller to proportional, 2; integral, 2.7
EXAMPLE- We want a PID loop- type 3. Ku is 2.5, period of oscillation is 50 sec= 5/6 min.
