| FT_PIWL is a PI controller with dynamic anti-wind Up and works according the following formular |
|
|
Y = KP * IN + KI * INTEG(IN) |
| The input values LIM_H and LIM_L limit the range of the output Y. With RST, the internal Integrator can always be set to 0. The output LIM indicates that the Output Y runs to one of the limits LIM_L orL IM_H. The PI controller is free running and uses the trapezoidal rule to calculate the integrator for the highest accuracy and optimal speed. The default values of the input parameters are predefined as follows |
KP = 1, CI = 1, ILIM_L= -1E38 and ILIM_H = +1E38. |
| Anti Wind-Up |
Control modules with Integrator tend to the so-called Wind-Up Effect. A Wind-Up means that the integrator module continuously run again because, for example, the control signal Y is at a limit and the system can not compensate the deviation, which then leads to subsequent transition into the control range until a long and time-consuming dismantling of the integrator value and the scheme only respond delayed. Since the integrator is only necessary to compensate the deviation for all other control units, and the range of the integrator should be limited with the values of ILIM. |

The module FT_PIWL has a so-called dynamic-wind Up Reset which resets reaching a limit (LIM_L, LIM_H) the Integrator to a value corresponding of the output limit. After reaching a Limits the controller re-enters the work area must the Integrator are not first or Down-integrated, and the controller is ready for use without delay. The dynamic Anti-Wind Up Method is that in most cases without drawbacks preferred method, because it does not negatively affect the control and prevents the disadvantages of Wind_Up . |

FT_PIWL can used together with the modules CTRL_IN and CTRL_OUT to build complex controllers. |
