What is the P, I, & D P is Proportional Gain or Just Gain I is integral Gain or Reset D is Derivative Gain or Rate
Remote Automation Solutions uses a Scale Factor (SF) that establishes the relationship between the Output and the Process Variable. SF * P represents total Gain
Loop Time, the time between start of each PID Calculation

PID Scale Factor – Why is it so important?
It is the factor in correctly determining the direction of the control action
Major factor in correctly calculating the magnitude of the control action
Reduces the possible range of the proportional gain from -∞ – ∞ to 0.1 – 2.0
If the PID scale factor is not close, tuning a PID control loop becomes a MAJOR trial and error exercise

PID Scale Factor – How is it Calculated?
SF = -1 * ΔOV / ΔPVwhere:
SF = PID Scale factor, in units of OV / units of PVΔOV = Change in Output Value,
in Engineering Units
ΔPV = Change in Process Variable, in Engineering Units
How are ΔOV and ΔPV determined?

Remote Automations Solutions
How are ΔOV and ΔPV determined??Good – Have the instrument folks tell you the
range of the PV that corresponds to the full range of the OV. Be careful about the units and direction.
Better – Have operators tell you from their experience what ΔPV is for a given ΔOV. Be careful about the units and direction.
Best – With loop in manual mode, adjust the Output Value and observe the value of the Process Variable.
ΔOV = OV2 – OV1, ΔPV = PV2 – PV1

Scale Factor – Lets Determine It for a Flow Control Loop
Best Way – With loop in manual mode, adjust the Output Value and observe the value of the Process Variable.
ΔOV = OV2 – OV1, ΔPV = PV2 – PV1
SF = -1 * ΔOV / ΔPVOV

Scale Factor –Level or Pressure ControlBest Way – With loop in manual mode, adjust the Output Value and
observe the rate of change of the Process Variable.
ΔOV = OV2 – OV1
ΔPV = (PV2 – PV1) / (T2 – T1) * Loop Period
where:
(T2 – T1) = Time difference between reading PV2 and PV1, in seconds.
Loop Period = Time between loop execution, in seconds.
SF = -1 * ΔOV / ΔPV
