I have configured the HMI to display the PID Output, PID Error & PID Status. Under normal conditions these display:- PID Output = 0-27678 PID Error = 0 PID Status = 3 Infrequently these all display 0. Which makes think the PID loop has been made inactive with no error code? From the forum, this could be the sample time being exceeded & will make the PID loop inactive. The PIDblockis in a cylicblock that is called every 100mS. I have added the sample code to my PLC s/w. Is there anything else that could cause the PID loop to be made inactive? I there a log that can be checked?

If not the PID_compact FB don't restart in automatic mode. for restarting in automatic mode the PID_compact_FB you can set to 3 "Pid_compact_DB".sRet.i_Mode. (and set to 0 for stopping, it's the state output)

I have scaled my process input & clamped so that it is within the limits set in the PID block. Used the raw value intially & this faulted the PID block with an error code 1. Have checked FAQ & if the sample time is exceeded then the PID block isforced into an inactive state, status =0. Set up the sample monitoring, with the cyclic OB scan time set to 100mSec. This output value has not increased. Currently the sample monitoring has been disabled, to ascertain whether this will stop the problem. Any other ideas, are welcome.

Was to check theIW used as the Process value was between 32767 & -32768before moving to a MW that was tagged to the PID block. Prior to this I used a scaling block for the IW & used the scaled value into the PID block. The Scaling FC was also called from the Cyclic OB200. The PID block was also enabled when required. The system has been up& running without the PID block failing & becoming inactive.
