Orchestrator helps you
control monitored processes by providing alarm and event
processing plus a visual interface with the Configurable
Monitor. Orchestrator also features the PID Closed Loop
Controller.
• Control for
closed loop systems
• Block diagram, bar graph, and strip chart display for
each control loop
• Dynamic viewing of change and effect
• Support for user-supplied algorithms (dll's)
• Bumpless transfer between manual and automatic
modes
• Anti-windup reset
The PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) algorithm is used
to drive a measured variable to a preset value or setpoint.
A common form of such a closed loop system is temperature
control of a process. More generically, the PID module
provides control for analog outputs and for pulse-width and
pulse-modulated digital outputs.
Orchestrator's simple and intuitive interface allows you to
set up one or multiple windows for configuration and
monitoring of control loop(s). A block diagram, bar graph,
and strip chart display for each control loop let you view
parameter change and effect dynamically. Other capabilities
include:
• Direct or reverse acting output
• Deadzone range of plus(+), minus(-), or both
• Velocity and position algorithms
• Support for user-supplied algorithms (dll's)
• Synchronous control based on response time of input
channels scanned from DAQ devices
• Bumpless transfer to prevent integral wind-up
• Direct entry of parameter values with a mouse-click
on the displayed value
