Primary Control Algorithm (PCA)
The principal control equation of a continuous control loop in a PROVOX
controller. The PCA type and station (STA) type, defined during
configuration, determine the main functionality of a control loop point.
Process Input/Output (PIO)
The name of an interactive controller card that accepts analog input
signals, performs A/D and D/A conversions, and generates analog
output signals.
Process Variable (PV)
A physical quality or quantity which is monitored as part of a control
strategy. Common measured variables are temperature, level, and rate
of flow. The term measured variable is a synonym.
Programmable Controller Interface Unit (PCIU)
A PROVOX highway device that permits programmable controllers to
receive and respond to commands from other PROVOX devices such as
consoles, trend units, and UOCs, via the data highway.
Programmable ReadĆOnly Memory (PROM)
A chip which is programmable only by means of a special device; once
programmed in this way, it effectively becomes a ROM.
PROM Acronym: Programmable ReadĆOnly Memory
Proportional Band
The change in a controller input required to produce a fullĆrange change
in output, due to proportional control action. The proportional band is
reciprocally related to the proportional gain, and may be expressed as a
percent of input span or in input units.
Proportional Control Action (P)
A control method in which there is a continuous linear relationship
between output and input. The proportional amount is known as gain.
Proportional/Derivative Control Action (PD)
Control action in which the output is proportional to a combination of the
linear relationship between output and input and the time rate of change
of the input.
Proportional/Integral Control Action (PI)
Control action in which the output is proportional to a combination of the
linear relationship between output and input and the time integral of the
input.
Proportional/Integral/Derivative Control Action (PID)
Control action in which the output is proportional to a combination of the
linear relationship between output and input, the time integral of the
input, and the time rate of change of the input.
