All seems reasonable in your model network but did you make sure that the surcharge depth in the node downstream of the type 3 pump is large enough? Is your pump on the pump curve? You can check this by looking at the SWMM5 pump…"
Here is an example PID Rule that will keep the node depth at 3 feet in a SWMM 5 model by changing the Weir Setting. The example file is attached in this blog. In this particular example, you can reduce the oscillations about the 3 foot rule level by lowering the integral time and derivative time coefficients in the PID control rule.

; the PID controller adjusts the weir height to have a

IF NODE 82309c DEPTH <> 3
THEN WEIR WEIR1@82309c-15009c SETTING = PID 10 -.01 -.01

Here is an example http://www.swmm5.net/2010/12/pid-control-in-swmm-5-for-type-3-pump....
I would suggest doing a sensitivity analysis for each of the three components for your particular weir to see the effect of each of the components.
Do you mean a PID Control for a Weir?
Subject: PID Control in SWMM 5 for a Weir
The blog http://swmm5.blogspot.com/2010/12/pid-control-in-swmm-5-for-type-3-... describes theFunction getPIDSetting which returns the PID setting at each time step. The PID parameter set contains three values -- a proportional gain coefficient, an integral time (in minutes), and a derivative time (in minutes) which are kp, ki and kd, respectively. More about the theory of PID controllers can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller.

Hi Lalit, I would be better that you post a comment instead of a status update, i see those faster.
