4-11.Heating / cooling control function

■ What is heat/cool control? For example, when conducting a performance evaluation test for electronic equipment, it is necessary to control the heater and cooling mechanism simultaneously. Heating / cooling control refers to a method in which one controller operates ...

4-10.Auto tuning function / Self tuning function

In order to perform good control with a PID controller, it is necessary to set an appropriate PID constant according to the control target. Adjusting the PID constants is called “tuning”. When analog controllers were at their peak, operators tuned ...

4-7.Proportional derivative (PD) control

Differential (PD) control is used to improve control response. Unlike the integral control, the derivative control has no control ability by itself. Used in conjunction with proportional control as proportional differential control. Differential control uses the rate of change of ...

4-6.Proportional integral (PI) control

It is thought that it can be controlled well by proportional control, but in reality, there is a problem when the current value approaches the set value. That is, the amount of operation becomes too small, and it becomes impossible ...

4-4.Proportional (P) control

In the ON-OFF control, when the heating output (operating amount) is 0% or 100%, the control result overshoots due to the effect of detection and reaction delay, and cycling is repeated. Cycling is inevitable with ON-OFF control because it performs ...

4-3.Hysteresis control

If it is turned ON and OFF at one point, the output will be chattered and will be more susceptible to noise. For this reason, as shown in the figure, heating control usually has a range of ON-OFF, such as ...

4-2.ON-OFF control

If the current temperature is lower than the set value, turn on the heater to heat. When it becomes higher than the set value, turn off the heater and cool naturally. The control method that keeps the temperature constant by ...

4-1.Glossary

Control Control is derived from the Latin contrarotulare, where contra means “to” and rotarye means “scroll”. When these are combined, the control comes from the fact that “if there is a difference, it will be corrected according to the authority ...

3-5.Steam heating

What is steam Industrially, steam is sometimes used as a heating source. Although it is rare to heat with steam at home, the water oven “Hercio” developed by Sharp has a catchphrase of “bake with water” cooking with overheated steam, ...
