ABSTRACT:
A method of determining PID parameters for PID control by a PID controller having proportional, integral and derivative operating portions including the steps of monitoring a limit cycle generated in a controlled process to obtain characteristics of the process, continuing process control in a tuning mode where a nonlinear element is inserted preceding a proportional operation portion and at the same time an integral operation portion is connected in parallel to the series connection of the nonlinear element and the proportional operation portion and the derivative operation portion is removed from operation and determining optimum PID parameters to be used for succeeding process control on the basis of the results of the limit cycle monitoring. A controller utilizing the above method includes a nonlinear element, a switch for inserting the nonlinear element into a stage preceding the proportional operation portion and at the same time connecting the integral operation portion in parallel to the nonlinear element and the proportional operation portion so as to shift control into a tuning mode, a monitoring device for observing a limit cycle generated in the process in the tuning mode, an adjusting apparatus for determining, on the basis of the results of the observation by the monitoring means, optimum PID parameters to be used for process control and for transmitting the parameters to the operation portions, and a control element for actuating the switch to operate upon establishment of predetermined conditions for starting tuning in a normal operation mode and for returing the switch to effect a normal operation mode upon the determination of the PID parameters in the tuning mode.
