Posted 9 Apr 2016 Hello guysI have a project in which I have to control the water level of a tank using Omron. I need to get the pressure transmitter value in order to know the level of the tank and use it as an process variable of the PID.Then I need to control the valve position.I'm really new to Omron and i have no idea how to do the PID. I have read all the manuals but I still dont get itCan someone help me please?here is the program that I have so far. Just a reminder the PID parameters is just some random values because I need to do the calculations still. Thanks Process3.cxp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, my pressure transmitter is scaled from 0-16383, while my control valve from 0-100%. Is it correct, or do i need to scale them to a parameter for the PID instruction? Thanks a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 11 Apr 2016 Yes you need to scale up the required input range of ur pid instruction. Input range and oother parameter need to define in ur programming in order for the pid to work In order hand..you may copy the example programming and if you edit it enough..you might be able to use it for ur control..it just a matter of how u edit the programming.

Posted 11 Apr 2016 The given example is for input range of 0-250 (u can change this range to ur range)..and ensure all DM used in that programming has not been used in other rung..u can use the output to control ur valve (4-20ma).. Hope its help.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
