Hello

Does anyone have a short snippet of code which show how to impliment a PID block in a micrologix 1500 processor.

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi Dane! The structure of PID programming in MicroLogix is similar to SLC 500. You have the Control Block, Process, and Control Variable. The PID only allows a scaled value of 0-100 so you need to re-scale the input and output (4-20mA). You can also include in the ladder the Auto/Manual bit, PID Mode enable bit (direct/reverse acting) so that it is easier to link if you want to use third party HMIs. Email-me if you have further question.
