Internal PID calculated output

Is there a way to monitor the internal PID calculated output for a controller?

In Honeywell, there was a CV parameter (Calculated Variable). It would be useful for our APC application if we can monitor this via OPC.

  • Clarify, you are wanting the PID output which is simply out or are you looking for the error?
  • I've investigated the "CV" parameter in Honeywell and have totally confirmed what it would be for a PID. Is it the PID accumulated "internal out", before OUT limits, which can exceed OUT limits due to P and D action after the "external out" becomes limited. Please clarify this also.
