It is recommended in systems where the load changes often and the controller is expected to compensate automatically due to frequent changes in setpoint, the amount of energy available, or the mass to be controlled. PID controllers are best used in systems which have a relatively small mass and those which react quickly to changes in the energy added to the process. The purpose of a PID controller is to force feedback to match a setpoint, such as a thermostat that forces the heating and cooling unit to turn on or off based on a set temperature. As its name implies, a PID controller combines proportional control with additional integral and derivative adjustments which help the unit automatically compensate for changes in the system. A proportional integral derivative (PID) controller can be used as a means of controlling temperature, pressure, flow and other process variables.
