PID simulator Description

PID simulator is a lightweight tool that allows you to easily view the effect of a PID controller on a closed environment with predefined variables. The experiment features a temperature controller and displays the evolution of the system temperature under given circumstances. PID (Proportional/Integral/Derivative) controllers are based on a mathematical algorithm in order to regulate various environmental parameters. They are used in electronic controllers and equipment used to maintain industrial environments. This program allows you to test the influence of such a controller on the temperature graph defined by a certain heat loss and energy input. The program enables you to create the desired environment and check the temperature evolution in the main window. In order to speed up the process you can adjust the sample interval and the general speed of the experiment. By default, the application starts with no energy input or heat loss which enables you to easily view the effect of any modification. After configuring the system parameters you need to adjust the PID values and enable the controller in order to view the effects. You can adjust the setpoint in order to control when the PID is activated. Unfortunately, you can only view the effects in the main window, as the app does not include any export feature. However, you can use the PrintScreen button to capture a snapshot of the experiment if you want to compare different parameters. If you want to know how a PID controller works, the PID simulator is a practical tool that plots the results in real time. However, it does not include any documentation and most users can only guess the purpose of the application. Reviewed by Sorin Cirneala, last updated on December 3rd, 2013
