How to use
Excel file – PID Loop Simulator

Excel based PID simulator is a tool developed in Microsoft Excel that enables
users to simulate and analyze proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control
systems. It allows for the modeling and testing of PID controllers, which are
widely used in industrial automation and process control.

The simulator provides a user-friendly interface where users can input


system parameters, set control gains, and observe the system’s response to
different inputs.
It calculates the control signal based on the PID algorithm, updates the
system’s output, and displays relevant graphs and data for analysis.
Excel based PID simulator serves as a practical and accessible tool for
educational purposes and preliminary evaluation of control strategies.
A Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) controller on a First Order Time
Delay (FOTPD) process can be simulated using the PID Loop Simulator, an
Excel application.
With the aid of this effective instrument, both open and closed loop
processes can be mimicked.
To learn the fundamentals of PID control and loop tuning, use this excellent
resource.

How to use
Process Gain, Lag Time, and Delay Time are the three parameters that make
up the First Order Time Delay (FOTPD) process. (Details regarding these
factors are provided in the section below under “Process Model”).
These settings should be specified in the Simulator’s “Process” section.
In the “Controller” section, enter the controller values. The controller gain,
integral time in seconds, and derivative time in seconds are these
parameters.

To examine the open loop response, select the “Open Loop” option.
The controller is not utilized in this mode. The graph displays how the
process value is affected by a step change in the controlled variable (such a
control valve).
The program replicates the PID equation in its parallel form, which is a
common form in academic settings.
The implemented equation is:

where:

t = Time
