Interdependence of Kp, Ki, and Kd in PID control
"Usually, controllers have software that detects sensor failure." Perhaps for some failures, but not all. In some processes, multiple sensors from different suppliers are mandated, with Quintuple CPU and memory redundancies to avoid catastropic control failures. "What is a problem is coarse...

Interdependence of Kp, Ki, and Kd in PID control
Least we forget, all these strategies, presume a linear system, 100% realiability of all sensors, control devices, and a stable process response to all changes large or small.

Interdependence of Kp, Ki, and Kd in PID control
They are coupled, as part of a closed loop, though the dynamic response of your sensor, the dynamic response of your controlled device, and the dynamic response of the process you are aiming to control!

Interdependence of Kp, Ki, and Kd in PID control
Are they independent? No! Ki (Integration) increases the control adjustment the longer the process variable deviated from your set point. Kd (differentiation) immediately bumps the control command intended to reduce the time needed to achive the set point. Both can lead to instability depending...

Using PLC as an ad hoc DAQ
There are plenty of data loggers on the market for trouble shooting, PLC's are mainly used for control, inless the data logging feature is part of it menu choices. Drop-in programming would need to be documented and confirmed as not interfering with the control algorithms oftem used for safe...

evolves from a process or a piece of machinery that you need to control or monitor. It began with water mills, clocks, steam engines, and countless others
