Default: 'PI'
Form — PID controller form
Parallel (default) | Ideal
Specify the controller form. The controller form determines the interpretation of the PID
coefficients P, I, D, and N.
- Parallel — In Parallel form, the transfer function of a discrete-time PIDF
controller is:
C=P+FizI+
D
N+Fdz
,
where Fi(z) and Fd(z) are the integrator and filter formulas (see Integrator method
and Filter method). The transfer function of a continuous-time parallel-form PIDF
controller is:
C=P+I
s
+ Ds
Ns+1
.
Other controller actions amount to setting P, I, or D to zero.
- Ideal — In Ideal form, the transfer function of a discrete-time PIDF controller is:
C=P1+
Fiz
I
+
D
D/N+Fdz
.
The transfer function of a continuous-time ideal-form PIDF controller is:
C=P1+
1
Is
+
Ds
Ds/N+1
.
Other controller actions amount to setting D to zero or setting, I to Inf. (In ideal form,
the controller must have proportional action.)
When you update a PID Controller block or custom PID controller with tuned parameter
values, make sure the controller form matches.
