PIDassist: PID programming aid, simulator and tutorial

PID control is a well-accepted technique for applying closed loop control to continuous processes. It is used in everything from car cruise controls to petroleum refineries. SPLat allows you to incorporate PID control into your product easily and inexpensively.

We have developed a comprehensive toolset to make PID as easy as possible for you.

PIDassist is a multi-purpose Windows program. It combines the functions of a process simulator, a simulated controller, a data logger and an automatic code generator to provide you with a comprehensive toolset for developing PID control applications.

Just as important is the comprehensive PID tutorial that is included in the SPLat Knowledge Base. It explains the basic concepts in a clear, intuitive and non-mathematical manner, then guides you step by step through the complete process of characterizing the process you want to control, tuning the control loop and implementing the SPLat program.

You can download the PIDassist package free from the downloads section of our website.
