Noise in PID control output at 100% even when constants used as inputs

I am using the PID toolkit to control valve movement in a system.  We are having an issue with large output fluctuations (~4%) when the valve is controlled completely open, PID output 100%.  This does not occur when the valve is controlled completely closed, PID output 0%.  We thought it might be caused by noise in the SP or PV signal but it still occurs even when constants are used for these variables.  The output range for the PID.vi is set to 0-100%.  Has anyone seen this before and if so how do I prevent it from occurring?  Thanks,

The PID output is going between 96% and 100% when I think it should be 100%.  For example if my setpoint is 5gpm and the process variable is 3gpm I would expect the the valve to open to allow more flow.  If I set the SP as a constant 5gpm and the PV as a constant 3gpm, I would expect the PID to move to 100% and stay there.  But it fluctuates rather than remains steady.  We are using a cRIO to output 4-20mA signal to several control valves. 
I know that my other post is mostly a repeat.  Our internet timed out and I thought I lost my original message.  I have not seen a way to remove the duplicate.  If you know, please tell me.  Thanks,

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

    If you are using Help 》updates, it is outdated. You can however go to Product Updates on the Adobe.com website and download your updates there. I am not at my desk b<t when I get back, I'll get the links unless someone else can do that sooner.

  • IMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone.   Laptop

    iMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone.   The laptop and phone are still synchronized and messages are showing on both devices.
    I've seen this before and was able to fix in Settings, but that is not working now.
    Please help.  Thanks.

    Did you replace your iPhone with some other kind of phone? If your phone number is no longer connected to an active iPhone, you can't use it to message from your Mac.

  • Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer

    Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer
    Sometimes I can walk away from the computer and only have one tab open (e.g. Facebook) and when I come back to the computer a few hours later, Firefox has crashed for no reason.

    Unfortunately the linked crash report is empty (@ EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump) and doesn't include any data, so it is not possible to find the cause of the crash.
    Did you recently submitted other crash reports that were submitted and show a crashing thread?
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+crashes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Do I have to execute irca.bat even when I use (only) Olite built-in DB?

    As well known I can use an external (full) Oracle database or an internal Olite database.
    Do I have to execute the irca.bat script even when I use the internal built-in Olite DB ?
    Where is this irca.bat ? I did not found it in the installation folder.
    Is the "default" domain automatically created without the irca.bar script or part of it?
    Peter

    No the basic version handles this all for you. But if you upgrade from 10.1.3.1 to any other release you need to run the SQL scripts for olite.
    cheers

  • The volume slowly increases to the 100% even when I set the volume slider to 1%...

    When I try to set the volume lower on my PC, it quickly increases to 100% volume, even when I set the volume slider to 1 or 2%. When I set it to 0%, however, it does mute the volume. It's rediculous! I just want quieter music, but I am constantly blasted by maxed out volume...

    A stuck multimedia key on your keyboard to increase the volume perhaps? iTunes won't change the volume of its own accord. Perhaps there is an option in your control panel to disable the function.

  • My imac goes to sleep even when in use

    i ran the hardware test and got this message:logic board-error code 2 STH/1/2 CPU T-Diode
    what should i do/

    This is not only a logic board problem.
    I had the same exact problems as you and have even got the same exact message. I ended up having to get the whole motherboard replaced because of one very simple but troubling problem.
    The motherboard is designed as such where Apple put the the temperature sensor running from the hard drive right next to the CPU processor. Over time, the high heat of the CPU processor causes the plastic/rubber surrounding the wire to become brittle and even melt. When this happens, the system gets a bad reading from the hard drive and thusly causes a louder, faster fan noise; and eventually, the computer starts to fall asleep even while in use.
    Simply put, you will probably need to have your mother board replaced. Contact Apple with your error code, and explain the problem carefully to them because it is not in the usual problems they have faced. I had my motherboard replaced at the end of April and it seems to be running fine for now.

  • Battery dies so fast even when not using it

    My battery could be at 100% and when I take it off the charger after one minute it drops to 93% and I wasn't even on it. I've only had it for three weeks.

    That is a pretty sudden drop in charge level, mine has on occassion dropped 1% if the battery had just reached 100% and was then unplugged...if it does this consistently, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test the battery to be sure it is ok.
    You can also do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider if that appears...that clears things and may help.

  • Automatically connects to sync and will start playing music all the time even when not using sync

    My iPhone 4S will automatically start playing music as soon as I start my vehicle with sync.you can't hear it but on the screen it shows its playing even when listening to the radio

    Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it.  If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
    You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup.  They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices.  However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

  • My flat screen won't connect to the internet, even when I use the cord from my working iMac.

    I have an old dome base flat screen running Tiger and a newer intel iMac running Snow Leopard. My newer model connects to the internet just fine and my old one did too, until recently. Both work off the same Comcast modem and one will connect and the old one won't, even when I take the cord from the new one and plug it into the old. I didn't make any changes to it so I don't know what the problem is. Any suggestions?

    I think what happened is I had Hide My *** Proxy running and for some reason it won't let me get on line with it running, although it used to so I don't know what the deal with that is. On my other computer I can get on line with it running. Anyway, after I quit HMA I could get on line. Thanks for your reply. By the way, my other computer is not connected to a hub, but to the Comcast modem/wireless device that my other computer is connected to.

  • Battery depleting even when not using

    Ever since I downloaded the last software update, I am finding that my battery is depleting almost overnight even when I am not using it. I have to charge it every night and it doesn't last as long when I am using my ipod. Do you know what the issue is?
