Let's open the broad topic of Industrial Electricity with Open and Closed-Loop Feedback Systems...
On this topic, we will explain:
- The difference between open-loop and closed-loop systems.
- The terms gain, reset, and rate.
- The terms proportional, integral, and derivative.
- The term differential gap (dead band) as it refers to an on-off controller.
- The term bump.
- How a controller that uses proportional only (P only) will respond.
- How a controller that uses proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) will respond.
- The term bias (offset) and how it's used to help the P-only controller.
- The term proportional band.
- The operation of a ratio control system for an on-off heating contactor.
- How a loop is tuned.
- How you'd determine the proper value of gain, reset, and rate for a new closed-loop system.
- The function of process alarms.
- The function of deviation alarms.
We will present:
- A block diagram for a typical servo (feedback) system and identify the setpoint (SP), process variable (PV), error, summing junction, controller amp, and output (final control element).
We will discuss:
- The difference between manual mode and automatic mode.
- The term bumpless transfer.
