Hi
Currently we are asked to automate a valve to exhaust steam from a pressure cooker. The condition is we have to turn the valve one step at a time every 5 minutes, when the pressure inside the cooker reaches about 2 bar. Meaning the process of depressurization will take about 30-45 minutes to fully exhaust the steam from the cooker
A solution that we are thinking is using a PID controller, a pressure transmitter and a motorized valve for the process.
The problem is I'm not quite sure if we can use the PID controller, assuming that the process is more of a time based control. Do you suggest using a PLC instead.
Thanks.
