Signal filtering in PID control



Abstract

The major input signals entering the PID controller are: the setpoint, the process output, and measurable load disturbances. By feeding these signals through suitable filters before they enter the PID controller, the properties of the feedback loop can be improved significantly. This presentation will treat setpoint handling, feedforward from load disturbances, TITO control, noise filtering, and process dynamics compensation.
