Page 58
6.4 Adjusting PID Manually Description Description and Tuning of Proportional Band The proportional band is defined as the amount of change in input (or deviation), as a percent of span, required to cause the control output to change from 0% to 100%. Because a narrower proportional band gives greater output change for any given deviation, it therefore also makes the control performance more susceptible to oscillation.
Page 59
6.4 Adjusting PID Manually Description and Tuning of Integral Time The integral action (I action) is a function that will automatically diminish the offset (steady-state deviation) that is inherently unavoidable with proportional action alone. The integral action continuously increases or decreases the output in proportion to the time integral of the deviation (the product of the deviation and the time that the deviation continues.) The integral action is normally used together with proportional action as proportional- plus-integral action (PI action).
Page 60
6.4 Adjusting PID Manually Description and Tuning of Derivative Time If the control object has a large time constant or dead time, the corrective action will be too slow with proportional action or proportional-plus-integral action alone, causing overshoot. However, even just sensing whether the deviation is on an increasing or a decreasing trend and adding some early corrective action can improve the controllability.
Page 61
6.4 Adjusting PID Manually Manual PID Tuning Procedure (1) In principle, auto-tuning must be used. (2) Tune PID parameters in the order of P, I, and D. Adjust a numeric slowly by observing the result, and keep notes of what the progress is. (3) Gradually reduce P from a larger value.

8.6 Suppressing Hunting (Super2 Function) Description The Super2 function suppresses the hunting effect of the controller without re-tuning the PID parameters. Hunting means the PV becomes unstable and oscillates around SP. SUPER2 = ON Hunting ● In hunting condition, the Super2 function selects the output from process model as PV signal.

Set SC=2 when there are a lot of disturbances, and much hunting occurs.
8.7 Suppressing Integral Action (Anti-reset Wind-up) Description Where there is a large deviation at the start of the control operation, for example, integral outputs are accumulated and the PV exceeds the SP, thereby causing the output to overshoot. To avoid this, the controller provides an anti-reset wind-up function for suppressing an extreme integral output by stopping PID computations.
8.8 Adjusting Auto-tuning Operation Description Auto-tuning Type “Normal” of auto-tuning type requires a rapidly rising PID constant. This type is useful for processes that allow some overshooting. On the other hand, “stable” of auto-tuning type requires a slowly rising PID constant. Auto-tuning Output Limiter When executing auto-tuning, the control output high and low limits can be set.
Chapter 9 Auxiliary Control Functions 9.1 Setting SP Limiter Description The SP high and low limits can be set to restrict the SP to the range between those limits whether in REM (remote) or LCL (local) mode. They works to the SP of all SP groups. 100.0 High limit of SP Setting range of actual SP...
9.2 Changing SP at a Fixed Rate (SP Ramp-Rate Setting Function) Description SP ramp-rate setting function forces SP to change at a fixed rate when SP is changed in order to prevent abrupt changes in SP. Velocity (rate-of-change) can be set for both the SP ramp-up rate (UPR) and SP ramp- down rate (DNR).

The pulse width is calculated as follows with the cycle time (control output cycle) at 100%. Control output pulse width = Control output (%) x Cycle time The output type is selected as either the relay output or the voltage pulse output. UT32A Ristricted to the range ON/OFF signal between output high...
10.2 Setting Control Output Cycle Time Description Cycle time is the basic cycle period for a signal full cycle of ON/OFF operation for a relay or voltage pulse output. Reducing cycle time results in faster cycling and finer control. In contrast, reducing the ON/OFF period also reduces relay life. For relay output, set the control output cycle time to 30 to 200 seconds according to the process speed.
10.3 Setting Limiter to Control Output Description Control output high and low limits can be set to restrict the control output to the operation range between those limits. The output limiter is prepared for each PID group, and works according to the selected PID group. This, however, excludes preset output in STOP mode.
10.4 Disabling Output Limiter in MAN mode Description Output limiter can be released when in MAN mode. Note that the output bump is caused if the operation mode is changed from MAN to AUTO while the control output is out of the range between the control output high limit (OH) and control output low limit (OL).
10.5 Setting Velocity Limiter to Control Output Description Output velocity limiter prevents the control output signal from changing suddenly in order to protect the control valves (or other actuators) and controlled process. The output velocity limiter does not work in MAN or STOP mode or when input burnout or A/D error occurs.
10.6 Reducing 4-20 mA Current Output to 0 mA (Tight Shut Function) Description Tight shut function fully closes the control valve (or other actuators) (i.e., so that output is zero) beyond its positioner dead band.

10.7 Setting ON/OFF Control Hysteresis Description In ON/OFF control, since the only two possible output states are ON and OFF, the control output cycles are as shown in the figure below. ON/OFF becomes quite narrow, so that if relay output is used, chattering occurs. In this case, the hysteresis should be set wider to prevent relay chattering and for the service life of the relay.
