Hi, I am pretty new to the world of control engineering.
Anyway I am using siemens PLC 315-2DP to control heating ovens via PID. There are four banks of heaters in the ovens. The ovens are baking steel rods.
Basically the ovens are supplied with 3 different temperature setpoints for one baking session. The temperatures vary between 100 degress celcius and 500 degrees celcius depending on the baking pattern.
What is the best control for this situation. Currently they are using ON OFF control.
I would like to use PI control -
I think this should be the best form?
IS this plant an integrator - someone told me that if one applies a constant input to a plant and the output increases then the plant is an integrator. This makes sense, but then would i need to have PI control or can I just use P control
