What is a PID Temperature Controller?
PID temperature controllers employ closed-loop digital feedback to help control and regulate the temperature of industrial control applications. PID stands for “Proportional Integral Derivative”. In layman’s terms, PID kiln controllers work by using a mathematical formula to calculate the difference between the input temperature and the current temperature of the application. The automatic controller then adjusts the output to compensate for the detected changes in the system, ensuring that the current temperature is as close to the expected temperature as possible.
