Abstract

This paper presents a stepwise guide for implementing temperature proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control on a customized model using a Siemens S7-1214C DC/DC/DC programmable logic controllers (PLC) workstation. The customized trainer includes an aluminium block, heating element, RTD PT-100 sensor, PT-100 transmitter, solid-state module, PLC-based PID controller, and 24 V power supply. The detailed implementation process includes initial setup, pretuning, fine-tuning, and data retention. The aim of this work is to provide guidance to practitioners in the field of temperature control and enable them to effectively apply PID control to various industrial processes.
