pid "resolution"

[Viller]

Hi

I'm using a the standard "PID block" (control toolkit) - and I have set the output range to 2-5 - so this means that the PID controller can output a minimum of 2 and a max of 5! but here is my question: when the cotroller is active it only outputs integers, so this will be 2,3,4 or 5! how do I change this "resolution" so it fx can output 2.3 or 4.5 and so on?? hope you guys understand my question?

Hi Viller,

I presume you are talking about the "Output range" input of the PID.vi in control design toolkit. The default data type of the input is a cluster of two doubles("Output high" and "Output low"). Can you preset those values to your desired outputs?

hello i'm having similar problem. what is the resolution of the simple pid.VI, is it posible to change it. for me the higher the resolution the happier i become 🙂
