why the derivative in PID is always set to zero?

Answer Posted / kyle condran

derivative works on rate of change of error(slope of error) and assumes that the process will continue changing at that rate and tries to overcompensate for it.

so for fast processes upsets or step changes have high error slopes, sometimes almost infinite or straight up, so the control goes nuts trying to compensate for error. There is usually an option to suppress derivative is for step changes but for fast processes is should be zero.

You will see derivative on laggy slow processes such as some temperature and large volume level loops.

Im having problems with interfase betwen SPI v7.0 and SPPID v5.05. Previous versions of Intools shoul be fixed with SPPIDproj.ocx file. It was necessary to replace this file with one that allows the connection between different versions of SPPID. It is necessary in the current version to do the same?Thanks
