PID parameters

[vsingh]

Is it possible to change the GAIN, Integral and derivative without resetting the PID ? I do not want to reexecute PIDDEF as it sets the output to zero. I would like it to resume from the last output (bumpless) with new PID parameters.

Thanks for help.

Execution of PIDDEF will clear the integrator and differentiator data. There is no command to bypass this. However, if you don't use the built-in PID functions, you may actualy use TBASIC to construct your own PID routine. i.e. storing the P, I and D in DMs and use the variable A to Z to store the result of the I and D term. You can refer to Digital Control books for some algorithm that suit your purpose.

There is a tutorial on PID controls which is very in depth and a short version if you are already versed in PID functions.

Happy coding!
