# Industrial Specification: PID Controller

## 1. Technical Definition
A feedback control loop mechanism that calculates an error value as the difference between a desired setpoint and a measured process variable, then applies correction based on proportional, integral, and derivative terms.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **4-20 mA input signal, 0-10 VDC output signal, -40°C to 85°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Input signal exceeding 24 mA causes analog-to-digital converter saturation, output voltage exceeding 12 VDC damages connected actuators, ambient temperature exceeding 125°C causes semiconductor junction failure**, Mechanism: **Semiconductor thermal runaway at 150°C junction temperature due to excessive ambient heat and internal power dissipation, exceeding the silicon bandgap energy of 1.12 eV**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Electromagnetic interference from adjacent 480V AC motor starters inducing 50V transients on signal lines | 8 | Proportional gain calculation error exceeding ±5% due to corrupted analog-to-digital conversion | Shielded twisted-pair cabling with 360° termination and ferrite chokes at 100 MHz cutoff frequency |
| Integral windup from sustained error during process saturation lasting over 60 seconds | 8 | Control output saturation at 100% duty cycle causing overshoot exceeding 15% of setpoint | Anti-windup circuit with back-calculation algorithm limiting integral term to 80% of output range |
