Re: [foxboro] PID Equations

May the below description, part of my PIDA manual could bring some light in the 
darkness:

8- Old and New structures for PI(D) controllers
        
        Figure 8- 1 shows the evolution that has taken place in the algorithms 
used for PI(D) controllers.
        
         
        
Figure 8- 1: Old and new PID controller structures
        
        In the Old PID structure the error (SP-M) was calculated and the 
controller proportional, integral and derivative actions were calculated 
without interaction:
        P action was =  (SP-M)*k,             where k   = controller GAIN
        I action was =   (SP-M)*(1/Tr*s)   where Tr = the reset (or integral) 
time
        D action was =  (SP-M)*Td*s        where Td = the derivative time
        In these controllers the proportional, integral and derivative actions 
were non-interactive; this means that when changing the controller gain, only 
the proportional action was influenced. So when controller  gain k is increased 
with a factor 2, the proportional action would increase with  factor 2, while 
the slope of the integral action would stay as it was before. Therefore, the 
term repeat time for integral action, can not be used for these non-interacting 
controllers.
        
        Under new PID structures there are two new schemes:
        The first scheme (a) shows that the proportional tuning parameter (PB) 
will have an effect on all three actions, the proportional, the integral and 
the derivative, as the error (SP_M) is multiplied by 100/PB; this result is 
being used to calculate the proportional, integral and derivative actions
        P action was =  (SP-M)*(100/PB),                 where PB = controller 
Prop. Band
        I action was  =   (SP-M)*(100/PB)*(1/Tr*s)   where Tr = the reset (or 
integral) time
        D action was =  (SP-M)*(100/PB)*Td*s        where Td = the derivative 
time
        This structure can be found in old Foxboro controller, like SPEC 200
        
        For these controllers the proportional, integral and derivative actions 
do interact. When PB is decreased with factor two, the integral action will be 
increased with factor 2 (slope will be twice as steep) and the differential 
action will also be twice as big. For the integral action it means that the 
repeat time (this is the time it takes for the integral action to become as big 
as the proportional action is constant = Tr.
        
        The structure under new PID structure b shows yet another difference: 
here the derivative action (Td*s) is only active in the term with the 
Measurement (M). The Setpoint (SP) only has proportional and integral action.  
This means that there will be no derivative action when the setpoint of the 
controller is changed. Derivative action will only be seen on changes in the 
measurement. This has great advantages, as setpoint changes usually are step 
changes, giving a big "bump" to the derivative component of the output of the 
controller.
        
        This structure can be found in Foxboro Spectrum and I/A controllers.

[Sorry about the previous attempt.  Let's try one more time.]
You should have a look at "Integrated Control Block Descriptions", 
document number B0193AX.  Per the documentation, the available modes on 
the PIDA block are:

Proportional (P)
Integral (I)
Proportional-plus-Derivative (PD)
Proportional-plus-Integral (PI)
Proportional-plus-Integral-plus-Derivative (PID)
Non-Interactive PID (NIPID)
Proportional, integral, deadtime (interacting if derivative not 0) (PITAU)
Non-interacting proportional, integral, derivative, deadtime (PIDTAU)

The documentation also has a (very limited) writeup of when you might want 
to use some of these.  See the section headed "PIDA is Recommended Over 
Other PID Algorithms" under the writeup for the PIDA block.  (Section 
94.1.1, at least in Rev. S of the document.) 

Perhaps some of the list members with more experience on the topic can 
expand on typical uses for some of the different modes.
