Won't work very well, if at all, with "high frequency" PWM. For "dimming" AC you would need to create a phase angle control.Yes the intention would be to switch 240v AC either through SSR's or zero crossing driven triacs.
First part yes, second part no.So If I follow your drift, a PID routine would still be required, but rather than a low frequency pulse, the filter is used to determin the pulse width in a high requency PWM ?
Using proportional control only will most likely give you the result I explained in my previous post. You will need at least PI.
As before, you can not use a normal SSR to power a AC device and simply feed a "high frequency" PWM signal to it to "dim" it, it's not like dimming a LED with PWM. You need either a voltage controlled phase angle controller and drive that with a voltage created by low pass filtering the PWM output. Or you create a LOW frequency PWM signal with a period in the seconds range (which I believe is exactly what I beleive Darrel created for you in the version you have already) - and it's like that for a reason.
If you where to rectify and filter the incomming AC you COULD then use a high voltage MOSFET or IGBT to PWM the load but, well....
