Feedforward or Bias (Word 07)
This input is added to the calculated control output of the PID equation. It
is used when a bias is needed or if feedforward control is desired. This
value can be a storage constant or a calculated variable of
process measurement.
Proportional only control will give a steady-state offset of the process
variable from setpoint. A bias value can be added into the control output
using this word to bring the process variable to the set point.
The feedforward value (Figure 16.9) represents a measured feed system
disturbance fed into the PID equation. Its effect is to adjust the output
before the disturbance has a chance to change the process variable, thereby
reducing the impact of the disturbance on the system.
