How do I tune my PID controller?

Manual tuning of PID controller is done by setting the reset time to its maximum value and the rate to zero and increasing the gain until the loop oscillates at a constant amplitude. (When the response to an error correction occurs quickly a larger gain can be used.

What is the most effective way to tune a PID controller?

To tune your PID controller manually, first the integral and derivative gains are set to zero. Increase the proportional gain until you observe oscillation in the output. Your proportional gain should then be set to roughly half this value.

What are PID tuning parameters?

PID is an acronym for Proportional, Integral, and Derivative. These parameters can be used, adjusted, and controlled individually and collectively. You can have, for example, a P controller, a PI controller, or a PID controller.
