When the level is higher than the setpoint, the PID opens a valve and corrects the level. This works fine. There is also a Mag5000 that reads the flow and through a totalizer the customer can see the amount of water that has been flushed. But now they ask to limit the maximum flow to x m³/h. Is there any way to put a second PID in cascade or something and limit his output to x m³/h ? I'm working with TIA Basic V11 Update 2, CPU 1214C DC/C/DC. Regards, Gunther.

In any case, to limit the flow rate to certain value, then you should have a controlled valve. So, we have now actual flow value from flow meter and PID output will go to control valve. Hope it helps.

Hope it helps. We have a controlled valve, we have the actual flow and we have the level in the tank. The level is now controlled through a PID controller and a valve. There should only be an extra limit on the maximum flow going through the valve ... In the DCS systems I used to work with I would add an extra PID controller (cascade) and limit this PID to x m³/h. But as far as i can see this limitationis notpresent in the S7-1200 PID's. Attachment sketch.jpg (106 Downloads)
