How the PID controller can be implemented with a digital system?

To implement the PID controller in the software the continuous Laplace domain equation must be transformed into the difference equation. Once transformed into a difference equation, this equation can be implemented to develop a digital PID controller to control any closed-loop system.

What is digital PID controller?

What is a Digital PID Controller? A digital PID controller reads the sensor signal, normally from a thermocouple or RTD and connects the measurement to engineering units, such as degree Fahrenheit or Celsius, that are then displayed in a digital format.

Is PID controller analog or digital?

Most proportional-integral-derivative (PID) applications use digital controllers, though some still use analog. Digital control can offer additional process control system efficiencies. Digital controllers have some advantages over analog controllers for proportional-integral-derivative (PID) applications.
