| Abstract: | A Proportional-Integral-Differential controller is a control loop mechanism, commonly used to force a controlling parameter, e.g. temperature, to a desired value at satisfying accuracy. It is a simple algorithm, which is easy to implement, and it is therefore widely used to control both laboratory and industrial processes. The aim of this project was to adopt a PID controller for the temperature stabilization of low temperature measurements. The temperature sensor was a resistor with temperaturedependent resistivity. In this work I analyzed the physical properties of the system under control affecting the temperature stabilization, and investigated the logic behind choosing proper parameters for the PID controller. I compared the experimental results with analysis of the system based on solution of the differential equations for the system dynamics. |
