In industrial automation, achieving precise and stable control of various processes is often a critical requirement. One common challenge is the need for effective regulation, especially in scenarios where maintaining a specific parameter such as temperature, pressure, or flow rate is essential. This is where Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control comes into play. PID controllers are widely used to ensure that a system's output reaches and maintains a desired setpoint by continuously adjusting control inputs. However, configuring and programming PID controllers can be a complex task, demanding careful consideration of various factors.
