I've always been fascinated in how the process actually occurs. Is it more or less handled by software these days or are you performing the calculus yourself? What applications are you tuning? Cheers!

I have a project coming up where I need to do one. I've never set one up before. It's kind of a fast action in the sequence so I think it's going to be tricky. I have to do 3 fixed speeds of forward reverse on a saw blade carriage, and then slow forward down based on blade motor amperage. But Rockwell has a PID instruction and you just enter in your tags as needed.
