About the PID Loop Simulation Tool

This tool simulates a PID controller applied to a first-order plus dead time (FOPDT) process. Users can input process parameters (gain, time constant, dead time), PID tuning constants (Kp, Ti, Td), and simulation settings to visualize the process variable, setpoint, and control output over time. The tool calculates performance metrics like rise time, settling time, and overshoot, aiding in controller tuning and process analysis.
