PID Control Loops in Thermoelectric Temperature Controllers

Download Whitepaper
There are many companies that manufacture temperature controllers with various levels of complexity. These instruments use different algorithms and control loops to maintain set temperature. The control loops can range from simple proportional control to proportional-integral control to full PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control. Each type of control loop fi lls a niche within the realm of temperature control. A temperature controller with full PID capability offers the most fl exible control allowing the same controller to bring a very large thermal mass rapidly to set temperature or to maintain very tight temperature stability on a very small thermal mass in an environment with varying temperatures.
