1. Assignment due by the start of Lecture #8: SP6

Don't forget to write the purpose at the beginning of each homework problem. This will help you think about each problem in the context of the overall course objectives.

Lecture 8 - Proportional-Integral-Derivative Control

For Lecture 8 we'll complete our discussion of PID controllers by adding the derivative term. The main points of this lecture for derivative action include:

• Derivative action is typically on the PV not the Error
• Derivative action helps to dampen oscillations by slowing down a controller action that is moving the PV too quickly to Setpoint (SP).
• Derivative action can create undesirable response with significant measurement noise
• Lecture 8 Class Notes
• Lecture 8 Case Study

Homework
