Workshops/PID

Abstract
PID controllers (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) are used extensively in process and system control. They are a mathematical model which aim to produce a controllable output from a measured process variable and system feedback.

In this workshop, I intend to do a presentation which will
 * Compare open and closed loop systems
 * Look at the practical parts of simple PID controllers
 * Explain the use of each PID term, and how it will affect the system response
 * Build up concepts to provide a practical knowledge of developing a simple control system

Further material which may feature in this or a future workshop:
 * Hands on PID with a PIC/Arduino/dev board
 * Advanced PID modelling
 * Proportional term is present in all 3 terms
 * Dealing with integral windup
 * Using the output with PWM
