PID Operation
PID operation combines proportional operation (P), integral operation (I), and
derivative operation (D). It produces superior control results even for control ob-
jects with dead time. It employs proportional operation to provide smooth control
without hunting, integral operation to automatically correct any offset, and deriv-
ative operation to speed up the response to disturbances.

Direction of Operation When using PID operation, select either of the following two control directions. In
either direction, the operation amount increases as the difference between the
SV and the PV increases.
• Forward operation: Control amount is increased when the SV is larger than the
PV.
