Background I'm working on updating some of our test equipment. The current setup uses two 20 gallon vacuum reservoir tanks, two manual needle valves per tank, 4 solenoids for tank vacuum controls, 2 differential pressure controllers with DC output, and one PLC. It also uses a very manual process for setup. My goal is to replace the main control box with two analog proportioning valves, 2 analog pressure transmitters, and one PLC with the PLC controlling the vacuum levels inside the tank automatically through data tables. I have a slightly different setup in testing right now but I'd like to get a finer control. Question What's the best way to control the process variables for two regulators using PID without creating a feedback loop and oscillation? One Valve would function as a cooling type PID (Reducing the vacuum level based on input), one valve would function as heating (Increasing the vacuum based on input)
