PID autotune does not work


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

why does aurotune not work in the attached vi? Plus if I change the setpoint, shouldnt the PID output change as well? I.e., if say the pump needs to pump more, has to spin faster? or at least, have to ramp up once to fill to a new level and then oscillate again, since the amplitude is the same.

 

Its a squarewave on the input, the help says, when the process is oscillating, outotune should come up with something. The squarewave kind of oscillates just around 2 levels?

 

Thanks,

There is absolutely no way to create the controller for something that does not respond to controller output. In your design the controller does not output to the plant - the plant is only generating square wave, it is all the controller "see" and there is nothing it can do about it, because there is no feedback from controller to plant.
