IMPLEMENTASI KENDALI PID PENALAAN ZIEGLER-NICHOLS MENGGUNAKAN MIKROKONTROLER

Abstract

PID control has been widely used in industry  as well as been implemented in the control of the liquid level . The research objective is to design  PID controller base on microcontroller  and then apply it on the miniature hopper-conveyor plant to maintain solid levels of raw materials to remain constant . The dimension of hopper is 25 cm long, 20 cm wide and 25 cm high.

The design of PID control uses a separate action based on microcontroller and for the  tuning uses open-loop Ziegler-Nichols. The design is implemented in miniature hopper-conveyor plant to move the raw material form of green beans to the hopper using a screw conveyor. The screw conveyor is  rotated by a three phase induction motor with inverter speed drive. Level in the hopper is measured by using an ultrasonic sensor module build-in the data acquisition program .

The experimental results of implementation on the miniature hopper-conveyor plant shows that PID control provides good performance such as overshoot occurs in  1 cm, or 0.05 % of set point and risetime shows 280 seconds.
