TAP Controllers use PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) control algorithms for maximum precision.
PID controllers, such as TAP Programmable Digital Kiln Controllers by SDS Industries, result in the highest degree of precision for controlling temperature by employing closed-loop digital feedback. PID stands for “Proportional Integral Derivative.”
In layman’s terms, PID kiln controllers work by using a mathematical formula to calculate the difference between the input temperature and the current temperature of the kiln or heat treat oven. The automatic controller then adjusts the output to compensate for detected changes in the system, ensuring that the current temperature is as close to the expected temperature as possible.
