Main Document

Temperature Control 

written by Nicolas Magdelaine

A simulation to learn the art of tuning a controller. The system is a room with a heater. The control law uses Proportional Band and Manual Reset. The setttings are made on an industrial user-interface. Graphics display the set point, the process value and the control value

Digital Temperature Control with Integral Action Simulation 

A digital industrial controller regulates the temperature in a room with a heater. The control law uses Proportional Band (Pb) and Integral action. With this simulation you can see how PV reacts with respect to different tuning. You can also see the advantage of the anti-windup feature which prevents the integral term from going above the limits of the control.
