Creating a Temperature setpoint Profile Automatically

[LW42]

Hello!!!

I would like to get some help in the following. I am using the PID setpoint profile vi to control a furnace. Usually the temperature setpoint profile that I use is a cluster of time and temperature with values that I put manually. I wonder if it possible to create a temperature profile automatically (setting only the final temperature, of course keeping constant the temperature increase rate). What I really want is to have a front panel where the furnace operator will set only the final temperature (of course I would have considered a constant temperature increase rate)

Thank you in advance

Hi Thorfano

Can you describe your temperature profile in detail. If you have a linear system, you should be able to just place a setting in your PID and the feedback will cause the necessary gains to reach this.
