How to fill it

Fill 1 values. The tool solves the rest.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

PB = 1 / Kp;  I_rate = 1 / Ti;  D_rate = 1 / Td

Inputs

NameUnit
Kp (optional)1
Proportional band (optional)%
Integral time Ti (optional)s
Integral rate (optional)Hz
Derivative time Td (optional)s
Derivative rate (optional)Hz

Outputs

NameUnit
Kp (hero result)1
Proportional band%
Integral time Tis
Integral rateHz
Derivative time Tds
Derivative rateHz

Diagnose

This tool does not attach diagnose observations.

Assumptions

  • Fill any independent pair. Unfilled pairs are omitted. Not a tuner.

Provenance

  • PB is a fraction of the normalized unit (50% → Kp = 2). Some vendors use PB% = 100/Kp with a 0–100 scale — same number if PB is entered in %.
