PID for Vacuum System Automation PID is an acronym for using a closed loop feedback system with the terms Proportional, Integral and Derivative.  While it uses calculus-type words, it is straightforward to configure and is what many industrial processes rely on for predictable automation.  It works on the principal of minimizing the error between the current vacuum reading and the desired set point vacuum pressure.   While PID can work on any closed system, it is also very useful for vacuum systems.  The balancing act is tuning the response to get your vacuum level to respond quickly, but also converge
