3. PV = Process Value/Controlled Variable
SV = Setpoint/Desired Value
MV = Manipulated Value/Controller Output
Error = Deviation
Objective : To bring PV = SV by manipulating FCE(Final
Control Element) via MV
4. Upset / Disturbance
Setpoint change : at the SV
Load Variables : all other variables that cause upset and affect control (e.g: input
fow rate, output flow rate, environment, heater power variation
Control is easier( unnecessary) if there is no UPSET
Control is more difficult if UPSET is due to LOAD upset than setpoint
upset.

7. What you will see in the lab?
• PID , where:
• PB = 100/Kc ; TI= time integral ; TD = time
derivative
• P-control only
• PI control
• PID
8. System Behavior
Underdamped
An underdamped response is one that
oscillates within a decaying envelope.
The more underdamped the system,
the more oscillations and longer it
takes to reach steady-state. Here
Damping Ratio is always < 1
Critically damped
A critically damped response is the
response that reaches the steady-state
value the fastest without being
underdamped. It is related to critical
points in the sense that it straddles
the boundary of underdamped and
overdamped responses. Here,
damping ratio is always less than or
equal to one (≤1) . There should be no
oscillation about the steady state
value in the ideal case.
Overdamped
An overdamped response is the
response that does not oscillate about
the steady-state value but takes longer
to reach than the critically damped
case. Here Damping Ratio is >1
