PID for Buck design
PostPosted: Wed Sep 23, 2009 10:24 pm     Reply with quote

Hi everybody,
My project is MPPT for solar panel but in my project I have to use digital PID controller to control voltage output from buck converter. My input voltage is 12VDC. By using buck converter and PID controller I want to regulate the output voltage to an desirable value (this value is alternate, of course). In my circuit, the feedback voltage is divided by 2. And this is my code:
Code:

 while(true)
  {

   //feed = read_adc();
   //LCD_display();
   }
}

In this code, when I change the setpoint value, the output voltage is not change.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks so much for your comment!

Take the code out of the #int_rtcc routine, and put it in main in a loop.
Don't use interrupts. Put in printf statements to display intermediate
values. Display the output in a terminal window on your PC.

Disconnect the PIC from the buck converter circuit. Connect a trimpot
to the AN0 pin. Turn the trimpot with your hand. Watch the display
of the values as you turn the trimpot. Look for anything that appears
to be incorrect. This will show you the problem area in your code.

If everything in your code (during the testing given above) is correct,
then connect the external Buck Converter circuits to your PIC again.
The code will still be in a while() loop in main(). Add a delay_ms()
statement to the while() loop, to simulate the #int_rtcc interval.
Add a printf statement after the read_adc() statement. Display the
value read from the ADC. It may not be in the correct range of values.

In other words, simplify the program, display intermediate values, and
trouble-shoot the problem by analyzing the behavior of the program.

Thank you for your help, PCM programmer!
I'll do it and reply the result when it's OK.
Thanks again,

What is the result? If you succeeded, can you share with us the full working code? Thanks

I tested and i tried to use this code in design.

From point of view of PID --- WORKS. It takes in 2 values and outputs 1 value. Works like PID should work.

In this code there are no scaled variable limit. Because of that values will overflow, for example from 32 768 to - 32 768.
Scaled means some variables are overgrowing faster... so whole thing is not compensated.

My suggestion use code from " AVR221: Discrete PID controller - Atmel" google it. Its 100 times faster and well done.
