we have a TMT system for our steel plant.
TMT stands for thermomechanical treatment system. It is a water cooling system for cooling the steel rods. The steel rods will pass through the TMT in milliseconds. I have to control the outlet temperature of steel rods coming out of TMT using water cooling.
Inputs available:
1. Input temperature(4-20mA) of steel rod before TMT (Pyromter input)
2. outlet temperature(4-20mA) of steel rod before TMT (pyrometer input)
3. Flow rate (4-20mA) from magnetic flowmeter
4. Pressure sensor input
Analog Output
1. Flow rate control using 4-20mA input to flow meter
I have to program TMT in such way that outlet of TMT should be maintanied at 250 degree C by controlling the flow.
Please provide some tips to program the TMT.
Can I use PID control for this purpose?
How can i implement PID control in s7 300?
I have no hardware PID controller. I have to create a software PID controller.
Please provide some tips to program the PLC

Hi!The steel rods will pass through the TMT in milliseconds.
The process is very fast.
Analog input signal consersation time + cycle time plc + setting time analog output signal + setting time from the actuator(valve) are in summary much longer than the rod is in the TMT.
I think you should check this.
For programming a PID controller: Download or buy the software package. You can find examples in the documentation.
