Do you want to eliminate those tedious, manually performed process control regulation tasks? Learn how to automate them with a Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller in Dataforth’s Introduction to PID Controls white paper.

PID controllers are used in most automatic process control applications in industry. They can regulate flow, temperature, pressure, level, and many other industrial process variables. This Application Note reviews the design of PID controllers and explains the P, I, and D control modes used in them. 

The PID controller is the workhorse of modern process control systems. The proportional, integral, and derivative control modes each fulfill a unique function.
