(VID-DR-0110)

The first step to a successful PID implementation is understanding your hardware. In this video we'll take a quick look at the hardware we will be using for the PID pressure example, and more importantly we'll run some tests to see if this hardware is suitable for PID. By the end of this video we will know if our hardware can do what we need it to and how the process variable and control output are related.

Before implementing PID we need to understand our hardware and more importantly what our hardware can do. Let’s fill in the details of this block diagram from the previous video. We’ll be using this single phase 120-volt 1 horse power drive to control this 3500-rpm jet pump motor. The motor is driving an old swimming pool pump I had laying around which forces water up to some manual butterfly valves over here. This 15-psi sensor sends a zero to 10-volt signal back to the drive, so it can monitor the system pressure. That requires an external 24-volt dc power supply. I added a process meter here, so we can see what the pressure is while we change the speed of the motor. Since it’s just a zero to 10-volt signal we could use a volt meter here, but the process meter is nice because we can set it up to display psi instead of voltage. The water is collected in a 55-gallon drum and drains to a reservoir. The intake to the pump has a check valve to keep the water from draining out when the pump is not running. We’ll control run stop with a switch on digital input 1 and we’ll use digital input 2 so we can switch between controlling the drive output automatically by PID or manually by us. The drive is powered from a 120 volt single phase input through a disconnect breaker. This block diagram and this schematic which shows the actual pin numbers can be downloaded from the link in the description below the video. I took this block diagram and built a small demo station like this. This drive controls this motor which drives this pump. The water goes up here to these valves and drains out the back to a reservoir which is just a little kiddie pool. As each valve is opened, the pressure drop is sensed by this zero to 10-volt pressure sensor which goes back to the drive. This is the process meter that is displaying the output of that sensor. These are the two control switches and this is the power supply I’m using to power the sensor. The CFW300 drive does have a 10-volt output for powering sensors, but this sensor needed at least 16 volts. We have two questions to answer. First, can this system maintain 6 psi with all the valves open? And second, how does the process variable – the pressure in our example – react to changes in the control output or the motor speed. I’ve already entered these basic parameters for the motor and these for drive control which says we are only using local mode and it assigns the digital inputs. We’re not actually using analog input 1 yet but it does default to zero to 10 volts, so we don’t need to change that. Great, with one valve open let’s switch to run mode. Ok, at zero hertz we get basically zero psi – no surprise there. I’ll increase the drive frequency to 5 hertz we still don’t have any pressure. 10 hertz? Nope. 15 hertz. Nothing. 20 Hertz. Ahh! Looks like we might finally be getting some pressure. At 25 hertz ... ok now we are getting something. And that makes sense. A centrifugal pump needs some minimum speed to operate – right? For our system it takes around 20 hertz to pump enough water build up any back pressure. Let’s keep going. 30 hertz. 35. 40. 45. 50. OK, it looks like we hit our sensors 15 psi limit so there is no point in continuing. If we plot that it looks like this. So, it looks like with one valve open we only need to run the motor at a little under 35 hertz to get the 6 psi we want. I repeated that exact procedure with 2 valves open three valves open and 4 valves open. Looks like with four valves open our motor needs to be at a little over 40 hertz to get the 6 psi we need. Great! We have fully characterized our system – that is, we now know exactly what our system is capable of under all load conditions. And, more importantly, we know our system can definitely maintain 6 psi regardless. And looking at these curves, we could probably even maintain 10 or 12 psi. Cool. The point is we fundamentally understand how our system works and that is the first key step in getting PID to work. The important take away here is this relationship between the control output – the motor speed – and the process variable – the system pressure in our example.
