of the PID Function Block depends on the automation task. The following can be
realised: basic controls, feedforward control rejection, cascade control, cascade
control with limiting.
The possibilities available for processing measured values within the PID Function
Block include: signal scaling and limiting, operating mode control, actuating, limiting
control, limit detection and signal status propagation.
• IN
= Input of the controlled variable from another function block.
• CAS_IN
= Input of the remote setpoint value from another function block.
• BKCAL_IN
= Input of the feedback value and status from the output BKCAL_OUT of the
subsequent function block, to prevent reset window and to initialise the control loop.
• TRK_IN_D
= Discrete input for activating the external output tracking function.
• TRK_VAL
= Input for the external value for tracking from another function block.
• FF_VAL
= Input for the disturbance variable from another function block. (Feedforward control)
• OUT
= Output value and status (actuating variable) of the PID Function Block.
• BKCAL_OUT = Output for the feedback value and status transferred to the input BKCAL_IN of the
upstream function block to prevent reset window and to provide bumpless transfer to
closed loop control.
