1 INTRODUCTION
The AX460 Single Input pH Analyzer has been enhanced with the addition of Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control.
PID control can be either relay output (Time Proportioning or Pulse Frequency) or analog output.
The control output can be configured as either a Single PID Controller (Reverse or Direct Acting) or as a Dual PI Controller (Bi-directional
Acid/Base).
The output from the Single PID Controller is assignable to either a relay or an analog output.
The outputs from the Dual PI Controller are assignable to either relays, analog outputs or one of each type.
This supplementary manual provides additional information relevant to the PID control features of the analyzer and must be read in
conjunction with the User Guide (IM/AX4PH).

4.1 Setting Up Three Term (PID) Control Parameters g) Set Derivative Time to:
To enable a process to be controlled satisfactorily, the following
t
conditions must apply: (for P+I+D control)
8
a) The process must be capable of reaching a natural balance t
(for P+D control)
with a steady load. 12
b) It must be possible to introduce small changes into the
system without destroying either the process or the product. The analyzer is now ready for fine tuning by small adjustments to
the P, I and D terms, after the introduction of a small disturbance
The Proportional Band determines the gain of the system. (the
of the set point.
gain is the reciprocal of the proportional band setting, e.g. a
setting of 20% is equivalent to a gain of 5). If the proportional
band is too narrow, the control loop may become unstable and
cause the system to oscillate. With proportional band control
only, the system normally stabilizes eventually but at a value Response Time
which is offset from the set point.

Process Variable
The addition of Integral Action Time removes the offset but, if set
too short, can cause the system to go into oscillation. The
introduction of Derivative Action Time reduces the time required
by the process to stabilize.

4.2 Manual Tuning

Before starting up a new process or changing an existing one: Time

a) Select the Configure Control page and ensure that Controller Mode A
is set to PID – see Section 4.3.
b) Select the PID Controller page and set the following:
Response Time
Proportional Band – 100%
Process Variable

Integral Time – 0 (off) – see Section 4.3.1

Derivative Time – 0 (off)

Note. If the system goes into oscillation with increasing

amplitude (Fig. 4.1 Mode B), reset the proportional band to
200%. If oscillation continues as in Mode B, increase the
proportional band further until the system ceases to
Time
oscillate.
Mode B
If the system oscillates as in Fig. 4.1 Mode A, or does not
oscillate, refer to step c).
Response Time
Process Variable

c) Reduce the Proportional Band by 20% increments and Cycle Time t

observe the response. Continue until the process cycles
continuously without reaching a stable condition (i.e. a
sustained oscillation with constant amplitude as shown in
Mode C). This is the critical point.
d) Note the cycle time 't' (Fig. 4.1 Mode C) and the Proportional
Band (critical value) setting.

e) Set Proportional Band to: Time

1.6 times the critical value (for P+D or P+I+D control) Mode C
