Easy2Control is a library that contains a simple implementation for process controllers based on Reactive Extensions for .NET.
The most prominent example is a PID Controller that is used to regulate a process variable (e.g. the room temperature) to a specific setpoint (e.g. a comfortable 21° C). It uses a proportional, an integral and a derivative term to provide feedback in the control loop. Easy2Control takes care of the heavy lifting and let's you focus on your domain!
See how it works in the samples.
- P Controller
- PI Controller
- PID Controller
// Declare your observables to feed actual values and setpoints into the controller
...
var builder = new PidControllerBuilder()
.SampleRate(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(25))
.UseActuals(actuals)
.UseSetpoints(setpoints)
.Proportional(5)
.Integral(1.0, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1.0))
.Derivative(2.0, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(200));
using (var pidController = builder.Build())
using (pidController.Feedback.Subscribe(Regulate))
{
// Do something in the meantime
}
private void Regulate(double feedback)
{
// Control your hardware
}See, it's so Easy2Control!
