PID controls are standard tasks in measurement and automation technology.

PID controllers in fact involve a lot of computational output, but they enable very fast control procedures. However, the control itself must be fast enough.

The MSX-Box is best equipped for such a task. As the floating point calculation runs directly in the real-time kernel mode, not in the user mode, the cycle times are reduced. The control is therefore faster overall, with the possibility of achieving PID controls of under 50 µs.

If you develop your control with a PID controller, you can use our new programming sample for the MSX-Box PAC system.
