Controllers

PID Controller Visual

The PID Controller Visual Control is used to represent a PID Controller Component. It lets the user change the Setpoint (i.e desired value of the system), and, while in Manual mode, the Output, using the two sliders. The current values of the Source (which is likely a sensor) and the Output (the actuator) are shown by the yellow and blue arrow respectively.

Users can also use the selector switch to set the operational mode (automatic, manual override, and disabled) of the PID Controller.

On/Off Controller Visual

The On/Off Controller Visual Control provides an interface to the On/Off Controller Component. Users can adjust the Sepoint with the slider, and view the value and state of the Source Component (sensor) and Output (an actuator such as a power switch).

Like with the PID Controller Visual, users can change the mode (automatic, manual override, and disabled) of the On/Off Controller with the selector switch.
