The simple RESET algorithm just initialize the internal variables. Next, we will edit the algorithms specified in the ECC graph.

These variables are part of the FB and retain their values between events. In the Properties tab below the ECC graph, in one of the sides-tabs called 'All InternalVars' add two variables of type REAL, called LAST_ERROR and INTEGRATION_ACCUM. With the ECC graph ready, it is time to write the code that will rule the behavior of the FB. You may have to create the new algorithms with the names shown before filling the graph. The ECC graph is really simple, and it should look like the image below. With the interface set, the next step is to define the ECC and the algorithm. The interval is the time between requests to the FB and is expected to be constant. This allow to easily zero the integral part. The interface uses Kp, Ki and Kd as constants to be tuned instead of the times Ti and Td. In the pop-up menu, choose the parent folder to store the new FB, choose PID as the Type name, and select Basic as Type.Ĭlick Finish, and the view to edit the new FB opens. The first thing to do is to create the PID Function Block. The implementation shows all the steps from creating a PID Functional Block in 4diac IDE, up to tuning the PID controller and printing the values in a graph.Ī basic usage knowledge of Eclipse 4diac is necessary to follow through the steps. The position of the motor will be controlled using PWM. In this tutorial, an implementation of a PID controller for an EV3 motor is presented.
