Control Loop

The PID controller implements a basic controller that interfaces with an M-Star simulation using the Global Variables mechanism.

Control Var

Select the global variable the PID controller will directly adjust

Process Var

Select the global variable the PID controller will use to determine error from Set Point

Process Set Point

Set the target set point for the Process Variable
