9 Special Program 9.1 PID Special Program

The PID special program is designed to conveniently use the PID operation function, which is

the CPU built-in function.

Registering the PID program

Select File -> New Program menu.

Input Program Name, Program ID, and For Run Edit(step).


Writing a PID program

Example of writing a program

Configuration diagram of the control system

This sample program takes measurement of the temperature inside a room using the RTD


70

sensor, and controls 4 – 20mA output to keep the room temperature as settings.

Temperature is measure using the channel 1 of the RTD module, and the output is controlled

using the channel 1 of the DA card.

Number of entire loop(Total Loop)

Sets the number of loops that execute PID operation. One PID operation loop should be used

to control one controlling object. Up to 32 controlling objects can be set. Set “1” since there

is only 1 controlling object. (1 ~ 32)

Number of execution loops for 1 scan(1 Scan Loop)

Sets the number of execution loops in 1 scan when there are several loops. Set “1” as

the number of execution loops for 1 scan since the number of entire loop is 1.

PIDINIT starting area(PIDINIT Start)

Parameters to be referred by PIDINIT command are saved from the specified area. The

first loop uses 22 loops including the number of entire loop and execution loops for 1 scan.

From second loop, 20 words area is used whenever a new loop is added. In the above figure,

D00000 ~ D00021 area is set for the PIDINIT parameter area.


71

PIDCAL starting area(PIDCAL Start)

Parameters to be referred by PIDCAL command and PIDCAL result value are saved from

the specified area. 20 words area is additionally used whenever a new loop is added. In the

above figure, D00100 ~ D00119 area is set for the PIDCAL parameter area. Be careful that

the area overlaps the PIDINIT area.

Current loop(Now Sel LooPp)

Select the loop to edit or monitor among the entire loop. "1" is set for the current loop field

since there is one loop.

Select operation formula (0: Forward operation, 1: Reverse operation)

Forward operation: Operation that makes the measurement value to be close to the target

value by outputting the movement volume (MV), if the measurement value (PV) is smaller

than the target value (SV). Heating operation belongs to this operation type.

Reverse operation: Operation that makes the PV to be close to the target value by

outputting the MV, if the PV is greater than the SV. Cooling operation belongs to this

operation type.

Select Forward operation (0) since heating is currently controlled.

Sampling time

Sets the interval of executing PID operation. The interval should be set shorter for the

system that the measurement value instantly responds to output variation.

Since it is set to 1 second in the above example, PID operation is performed at 1 second

interval and the MV changes. (0.01 ~ 60)

Proportional integer (Kp)

Constant value that is multiplies by the deviation (Sv –Pv) in the proportional operation “Mv

= Kp * (Sv – Pv)”, which performs proportional operation of PID control.

If the proportional integer (kp) is greater in the above formula, the PV reaches the SV faster.

However, if this value is too big, it can negatively affects stabilized control due to vibration.

In the above example, this value is set to 8000. It should be adjusted according to the

system while running the program. (0.01 ~ 100)

Integral integer (Ki)

The integral operation “Mv = P * E + P * 1/Ki *∫Edt” adds/deducts the deviation value

to/from the manipulation value depending on the time in order to remove the deviation, if

the difference (E) occurs between Sv and Pv. (0.0 ~ 3000)


72

Proportional operation for the small difference does not significantly affect the change of the

manipulation value. Therefore, perform integral operation to obtain the difference removal

effect.

In the above example, this value is set to 2000. It should be adjusted according to the

system while running the program, like the proportional integer.

Differential integer (Kd)

The differential operation “Mv = Kp * E + Kp * dE/dt” suppresses occurrence of the

difference by computing the manipulation value that is proportional to speed change, in order

to remove the difference if it occurs due to the change of Sv or disturbance.

Differential time or differential integer is the time that the manipulation value of differential

operation becomes that of proportional operation since occurrence of the difference by

differential operation.

In the above example, this value is set to 0, which means no differential operation control.

(0.00 ~ 300)

Filter coefficient (Filter)

Sets the extent that the filter effect is applied for the measurement value (PV) that is entered

from the A/D card. (0.00 ~ 1)

Lower limit of MV (MV Low Limite)

Sets the lower limit of the MV that is calculated by PID operation at the time of automatic

PID operation.

If the MV is smaller than the lower MV limit (MVLL), the MVLL will be applied as the MV.

In the above example, the MVLL is set to 0. Therefore, the MV smaller than 0 will not be

displayed in the automatic operation mode. (0 ~ 16000)

Upper limit of MV (MV High Limite)

Sets the upper limit of the MV that is calculated by PID operation at the time of automatic

PID operation.

If the MV is greater than the lower MV limit (MVLL), the MVLL will be applied as the MV.

In the above example, the MVLL is set to 16000. Therefore, the MV bigger than 16000 will

not be displayed in the automatic operation mode. (0 ~ 16000)

Variation ratio limitation of MV (MV Change Limite)

The value set in this field will be applied, if MV variation is bigger than the variation ration

limitation of MV, when compares MV of the previous scan with that of this scan. (0 ~ 16000)


73

In the above example, the variation ration limitation of MV is set to 6000. Therefore, the

variation amount will be set to 6000 if the operation result is bigger than 6000.

Automatic MV transfer (0: Use, 1: No use)

Use: If the user changes the PID control mode from automatic to manual, the MV calculated

in the automatic mode will be applied to the manual MV (MVman).

No use: The value set as MVman will be applied to the MV in the manual mode.

In the above example, this field is set to Use (1), MVman is equal to MV in the automatic

operation mode.

SV ramp (0: No use, 1~1000)

To suppress occurrence of overshoot due to abrupt change of the Sv, and control stably, if

the Sv is changed, the change is divided into the setting stage, and applied incrementally by

increasing/decreasing it by the sampling interval (Ts).

If set to “100" and Sv changes, Sv is incrementally applied internally at the interval of Ts

(sampling interval: 1 second), and it reaches the modified setting value after (Sv slope

function: 100)*Ts (time).

In the above example, it is set to “0". Therefore, this function will be disabled.

ON/OFF control time(On/Off time)

Sets the On/Off interval time to control PID using On/.Off control function. (If set to On, the

upper MV will be displayed as the MV.)

If the On/Off control time is set, the setting value becomes the on/off interval.

The ratio of On/Off in one interval is set by the current MV.

For example, if the setting value is 0.1 and the current MV is 80000, the On state will be kept

for 0.05 second and Off will be kept for 0.05 second. Or, if the MV is set to 32000, the On

state will be kept for 0.02 second, and Off state will be kept for 0.08 second.

In the above example, it is set to “0". Therefore, this function will be disabled.

Setting value (SV)

Input the target value to control.

For example, if 0 ~ 100% is used as the digital value of 0 ~ 16000, set 8000 in order to set

50%.

In the above example, the temperature value is controlled. Therefore, input “temperature to

set * 10”. For example, if temperature is 35.5℃, input 355. (0 ~ 16000)

Procure value (PV)

(station number: 1), and saves it in 5 bits from M0005.


Input the Counterparty’s Station Number (1).

Select the Function (01 Read Coil Status).

Input the Point Number (1). Input the number that is bigger than Start Address by 1.

If the data to read is bit, the data type is meaningless.

Input the Number of Data (5).


103

Input the Device (M0005).

If you don’t select “Do not request automatically” option, the communication block will

be automatically processed.


Communication block that writes 4 words from D00000 at the signal register (starting

address: 0) of the slave (station number: 1).


Input the Destination No (1).

Select the Function (06 Preset Single Register).

Input the Point Number (1). Input the number that is bigger than Start Address by 0.

Select the Data Type (INT16:High order byte first).

Input the Data Count (1).

Input the Device (D00000).

If you don’t select “Do not request automatically” option, the communication block will

be automatically processed.



104

You can change the block location using the Up (Up) or Down (Down) button.

9.8 Ethernet Protocol Program

Special program that enables the user to define the communication frame of the Ethernet

communication module.





Composing protocol program


The example program reads 5 words from D00100 of the counterparty’s CIMON PLC

(100.100.100.20) using the dedicated service, and saves it in 5 words from D00100 of

CIMON PLC. Communication is established using the Ethernet communication module

mounted in local base, slot #0.


106

Registering a host

Registers the PLC Ethernet card to read the data.

Click the [Add Host] button.

Input the device (M0000) to save the Communication Result.

Input the counterparty’s IP (100.100.100.20).

Input the Port Number (10262) to use for communication. The port number in the dedicated


107

service uses TCP (10260) and UDP (10262).

Select “UDP”.


Receive Header/Tail is used if the entire frame has the header and tail but received after split.

All frames are combined from the time when a header is received to the one when a tail is

received, and it is processed as a frame (request or response).

Registering a frame


108

Select a host and click the [Add Frame] button, the Define Frame window will appear.

Input the setting items.

Frame name: Name to separate the frame.

Tx/Rx: Sets the communication direction – sending or receiving.

Auto Send/Receive: Sending frames will be automatically sent at the specified interval.

Ts. Of Auto Send: Specifies the frame that corresponds to the response.

Functions related with segment editing

Insert: Defines and adds a new segment.

Edit: Edits the registered segment details.

Defining a frame (Rx frame for the Word Block Read command)

Defines the frame contents to interpret the response frame against the Word Block Read

request frame of CIMON PLC.

109

Sets the ID in the protocol.

The ID for the dedicated service is “KDT_PLC_M,” and set as shown above.

Defining a segment (Frame No.)

Set the frame number area in the protocol.

Select “Don’t care” for the segment type since it is not related with the data. The

area designated as “Don’t care” will not be compared.

Length is 1 bytes, and set as shown above.

Defining a segment (Cmd)


110

The command of the ACK response against Word Block Read is 52h, and set as

shown above.

Defining a segment (Res: Reserved area 00h)

The reserved area is 00h, and set as shown above.

Defining a segment (Data area: Requesting device)


111

Since 5 words data from D00100 is requested, the requesting device of the

response frame is received as D001000. Set as shown above.

Defining a segment (Data area: Number of requesting data)

The number of requesting data is received as 005h since 5 data is requested. Set as shown

above.

Defining a segment (Data area: Receiving data)

Set as shown above in order to save the received data in D00100 sequentially, since the

requested data is received by the order.

Defining a segment (Check Sum)


112

The checksum area is the entire frame area, and set as shown above.

Finishing defining a frame (Rx frame for Word Block Read)

The communication direction is the receiving frame, and set as shown above.

Defining a frame (Word Block Read Tx frame)

Defines the request frame for Word Block Read.

Defining a segment (ID)


113

Sets the ID in the protocol.

The ID for the dedicated service is “KDT_PLC_M,” and set as shown above.

Defining a segment (Frame No.)

Set the frame number area in the protocol.

Length is 1 bytes, and set as shown above.

Defining a segment (Cmd)


114

The command of the ACK response against Word Block Read is 52h, and set as

shown above

Defining a segment (Res: Reserved area 00h)

The reserved area is 00h, and set as shown above.

Defining a segment (Data area: Requesting device)


115

Since 5 words data from D00100 is requested, the requesting device of the

response frame is received as D001000. Set as shown above.

Defining a segment (Data area: Number of requesting data)

The number of requesting data is received as 005h since 5 data is requested. Set as shown

above.

Defining a segment (Check Sum)

The checksum area is the entire frame area, and set as shown above.

Finishing frame registration (Tx frame for Word Block Read)


116

Set the Communication Direction as the sending frame.

Set the Automatic Receiving Frame after Sending so that the system automatically waits for

receiving of the specified frame (0) after sending.

Set the Automatic Sending Interval as 0.1 second so that communication is established at

every 0.1 second.

Finishing frame registration (Word Block Read request and response frame

receiving)


117

Communication will be established by the protocol program only without the separate scan

programming.
