K (gain) – it describes how far the output will travel
with the change of the input.
*If a process has a large K, then a small change in the
input will cause the output to move a large amount. If a
process has a small K, the same input change will move
the output a small amount

3. Gc - Transfer Functions for a Controller
Proportional Control
For proportional control, the controller output is proportional to
the error signal,
p (t ) = p + Kce (t ) (8-2)
where:
p ( t ) = controller output
p = bias (steady-state) value
K c = controller gain (usually dimensionless)
p is controller output when the error is zero
Transfer function
Integral Control
For integral control action, the controller output depends on the
integral of the error signal over time,
1
p (t ) = p + 0 e (t *)dt *
t
(8-7)
τI
where τ I , an adjustable parameter referred to as the integral time
or reset time, has units of time.
•Integral control action is normally used in conjunction with
proportional control as the proportional-integral (PI) controller :
1
p (t ) = p + Kc e (t ) + 0 e ( t *) dt *

•The corresponding transfer function for the PI controller in is
given by

p ( t ) = p + K c e ( t ) + e ( t *) dt * + τ D (8-13)

4. Gv - Control valve gain and transfer function
Gain
• Gain of the valve – change in output divided by the change
in the input
• Output of valve – flow
• Input of the valve is the controller output signal (in percent
controller output) (Ib/hr or scfh)
df gpm
Kv =
dm %CO
• The valve gain obtained from three term
– Dependence of the valve position on the controller output
– Dependence of the Flow coefficient, Cv on the valve position
– Dependence of the Flow on the flow coefficient , Cv
