What is a PID controller and how can it to applied to our
everyday life?

Answer Posted / www.islamqa.com

Actually we can make it simple:

# P:
it's a controller gain which modify the controller o/p
proportional to the error.

# I:
it's a controller gain which modify the controller o/p
proportional to the integral of the error.

# D:
it's a controller gain which modify the controller o/p
proportional to error rate of change.



We have 4 parameters in our control loop to focus on:
1 - the rise time: the period of time during which the pv
get 90% of the desired sp value
2 - max overshoot
3 - settling time: the period of time during which the pv
get the desired sp value and saturate.
4 - error/offset

we can get it clear from this pic:

Now we will take a look about the effect of each controller
gain on these parameters:

# P gain:
decrease rise time
increase max.overshoot
increase settling time
decrease error (but not eliminate)


# I gain:

decrease rise time
increase max.overshoot
increase settling time
eliminate error.


# D gain:

no effect on rise time
decrease max.overshoot
decrease settling time
decrease error.

the previous is guidelines to be in background while
dealing with PID,but they are not sharp limits.
