I have to make a system.
In which flow out is given to pid and pid out is given to drive.
How to make such a system ?
I have to stop the drive after flow meter shows 200 liters
Is this type of system possible?
Can we swich on and off a drive using pid o/p

Hi vvk,
How to make such a system ?
The same way as you described it: read the input, decide what to do, drive the outputs…

It's just an additional condition to your control loop.
Can we swich on and off a drive using pid o/p
Well, you could - but would it make sense?
Usually PIDs are used to drive analog outputs.
With digital outputs (on/off) I only use PIDs to generate PWM signals - you could count that as "on/off" too…
Please explain why you want to use a PID here. From your (minimalistic) description it seems to me you only need to switch on a pump, wait until you got 200l, then switch off the pump…
