With the PID Professional software package it is possible to use the proven controller solutions from Modular PID Control and Standard PID Control in the TIA Portal. This software package is used when implementing simple to highly complex PID controllers. By interconnecting the supplied standard function blocks almost any control structure can be implemented.

Modular PID Control is preferred for mid-range and high-end control applications and process engineering. It is always suitable when minimum memory usage and the fastest execution times along with optimized adaptation to the control task are required.

Standard PID Control permits the simple integration of continuous PID controllers, pulse controllers and step controllers into the application program The parameterization tool with integrated controller setting allows the controller to be parameterized and optimally adjusted in the shortest possible time and so saves engineering costs. The control algorithm for the step controller helps to extend the service life of the actuators.

Both controllers can be used in S7-300 (CPU 313 and higher), S7-400, and WinAC.
