The difference between PID controller and switch controller
1. Introduction
In industrial automation control systems, PID controllers and switch controllers are two common control strategies.
They each have unique working principles, application scenarios, and advantages and disadvantages. This article aims to
explore in detail the differences between PID controllers and switch controllers, and compare and analyze them from multiple
aspects such as working principles, application scenarios, and performance characteristics, so that readers can have a deeper
understanding of these two control strategies and make more reasonable choices in practical applications.
2、 The working principle and characteristics of PID controller
working principle
A PID controller (Proportional Integral Derivative Controller) is a bias based feedback control algorithm consisting of three control
terms: proportional (P), integral (I), and derivative (D). It measures the difference (i.e. deviation) between the output value of the controlled
object and the expected value, and then processes the deviation based on proportional, integral, and derivative control terms to obtain the
output of the controller. The working principle of PID controller is based on error feedback adjustment, which continuously adjusts the control
quantity to gradually approach the set value of the system output.
