Are there any well known programs that I should be aware of? Would something like MATLAB or Labview be a good fit for this?īasically, I want to avoid re-inventing the wheel if at all possible. In the schematic below what are my options to impliment the PID / logging logic on the 'PC Control Station' part of the schematic. Is this fairly standardized or I'd have to stick to vendor specific propitiatory applications.Į.g. I'd need to use on the PC to set up the PID logic. Is it possible to implement the PID logic via a PC? How would I go about it, any thoughts / ideas?Ī HART Modem (I think also known as a FSK Modem or a Bell 202) seems not that expensive.
I want to control some valves via a simple PID loop. I have a couple of not-very-critical process control loops where the flow sensors can transmit a 4-20 mA signal & the HART protocol.
