Click PLC PID Instruction and Autotuning using Factory IO

A PID (Proportional, Integral, and Derivative) control is possible with the Click PLC. The Click Programming Software version 2.50 now includes PID. This features 8 full-featured control loops with an easy graphical user interface (GUI). PID will run on all of the Ethernet-enabled Click PLCs.
We will be using this PID along with a Factory IO scene to demonstrate PID control and Autotuning using our Click PLC.

Our Factory IO scene will be controlling the level of water in a tank. PID will be used to maintain the level based on a dial pot knob on the control panel. Let’s get started!

There are several reasons why we are using the Click PLC. Here are just a few.
Investment is low for the hardware and the software is free
Standalone PLC with built-in I/O
Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485 - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, etc.
Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules including RTD and Thermocouple inputs directly.
