a PID controller for an Ohmic heating system

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I want to add a PID controller for an Ohmic heating system. I want to control the system based on the center temperture of the heated sample, for example 70 °C in a range of ±0.5°C. However, when I set the controller parameters, I am getting an error massage "All active controll parameters must have consistent units".

Would anyone help me to solve this issue?

Thank you

Hi,

I'm not sure how the entire setup of the model is done, but if, for example, you want your control variable for a temparture controller to be a heating device with an SI unit of W (watt) (it could beor something similar depending on the model setup but let's assume W here). ThenK_Pshould have a unit ofW/K,K_Ishould have a unit ofW/(K*s), andK_Dshould have a unit ofW*s/K. When you have set up the PID Controller with consistent settings, the deduced unit for the controller appears in theInformationsection at the bottom of theSettingswindow.

Best regards,

Magnus

Hi, I'm not sure how the entire setup of the model is done, but if, for example, you want your control variable for a temparture controller to be a heating device with an SI unit of W (watt) (it could be W/m^3 or something similar depending on the model setup but let's assume W here). Then `K_P` should have a unit of `W/K`, `K_I` should have a unit of `W/(K*s)`, and `K_D` should have a unit of `W*s/K`. When you have set up the PID Controller with consistent settings, the deduced unit for the controller appears in the **Information** section at the bottom of the **Settings** window.
