PID Controller (proportional with integral and derivative) controllers combine proportional control with two additional adjustments to automatically compensate for changes in the system. The integral and derivative adjustments are expressed in time-based units and referred to by their reciprocals, RESET and RATE.
Single-loop, auto-tuning temperature controllers automatically set PID controller parameters for optimum system performance. Manual settings also permit on-off, P, PI or PID controller modes. Auto-tuning temperature controllers supplied by Phoenix Thermal Supply are designed and manufactured to withstand harsh industrial environments.
