    Cascade control uses two or more control loops, with one loop controlling another, to regulate applications that are difficult to control with a single loop, such as heated jackets. The master loop compares the product setpoint to actual temperature and sets the remote setpoint for the faster slave loop. The slave loop controls the actual heating to match its setpoint, with its response time ideally 5 times faster than the master loop. Cascade control forms a single regulating device using an inner loop controlled by an outer loop.

    What is Cascade Control?

    Applications with two or more capacities (such as heated jackets) are inherently difficult to control with a single
    control loop due to large overshoots and unacceptable lags. The solution is a cascade of two or more control
    loops, each with its own input, in series forming a single regulating device.

    The product setpoint temperature is set on the master control loop. This is compared to the product temperature,
    and the master’s PID output is used to set the remote setpoint of the slave. This is scaled to suit any expected
    temperature. The slave loop’s natural response time should ideally be at least 5 times faster than the master.

    Typically a cascaded control loop has an inner and an outer loop and the output of the
    outer loop is used as the setpoint for the inner loop
