3.2.2 Using the Top Control Continuous as a process controller (Fig. 3.7)
By using the Top Control Continuous as a process controller, the previous position control function is a component of the main
control loop.
The process controller within the main control loop posseses a PID function. The process setpoint (SP) is used and compared to
the controlled process value (PV). A sensor delivers the actual value. The manipulated variable correction functions as described
in chapter 3.2.1 represents a disturbance variable.
