PID CONTROLLER GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CONCEPT
The PID-controller is a device capable of regulating the output of the device being controlled to a specific control signal (the wanted value). It is doing so by the following iterative way: 
And in even more simple explanation, for example: if the actual temperature is less then the wanted temperature the PID-controller will deliver more power to the connected heating device until a zero difference between the desirable and available values will be achieved.
The PID controller is suitable for controlling and stabilizing many systems e.g.:and more…
 
The output of the PID-Controller is PWM signal (Pulse-Width-Modulation). It means that by switching the load to the energy source for different amount of times (Pulse width) the average power being delivered to the connected device can be adjusted.
The PID-Controller can read almost any analog or digital signal, and has SPI-bus.
The analog signal can be any 0-5v signal with sensitivity of 5[mV] (10bit resolution)
The digital signal can be any 0-2v / 3-5v signal with selectable timing resolution of 0.5 to 4[uS]
Or minimum Pulse-Repetition-Interval (PRI) of 0.5[mS]
The PID-controller is fully configurable and in certain operation mode can be monitored in real-time during its operation.
 
For safety reasons, the PID-controller software is equipped with real-time Built-In Test (RT-BIT) to ensure the system is operating in its normal region. The BIT algorithm is as follow:
If the user activates the BIT, any detection of the above events will put the PID-Controller in shutdown mode.
