Changing P, I Or D Parameter Values; Active Reasoning Technology (Art); Art Process Screen - Husky Altanium Matrix2 User Manual

7.5.22.1 Changing P, I or D Parameter Values

If rerunning ART on a zone has been attempted, and the required control has not been
achieved, switch the zone to PID control and adjust the individual PID parameters to achieve
the required control.
IMPORTANT!
The zone can be switched back to ART without losing information. The default settings for
the PID are P-15, I-10 and D-2 on all zones.
To change the PID settings, do the following:

Active Reasoning Technology (ART)

Active Reasoning Technology (ART) is the science of applying microprocessor-based control
systems to automatic decision making. It is a control method directed at an active or
continuous learning process, which is tolerant to faulty functions and incorrect operation by
intentionally circumventing the incorrect operation or failure.
Active Reasoning software combined with integrated hardware disseminates information
and makes better process decisions than any modular single input, single output controller.
The ability of all zones to interact with one another and understand the effects of that
interaction is paramount. Totally automatic control is one advantage. During Altanium
startup, the control looks at all zones individually, then looks at comparisons of all zones and
determines any interaction between them. It tests for any earth leakages individually and as
a whole. It then creates the necessary bake out and soft start routines to successfully and
evenly heat the mold.

7.6.1 ART Process Screen

The ART Process screen is used to initiate the Active Reasoning Technology self tuning
process and monitor its progress. This screen appears automatically after touching START if
any zone in the currently loaded mold setup has not completed the ART process. The process
can be manually initiated for any zones that it is felt are not controlling properly.
When ART is running, the system cannot be modified using the Start, Standby and Boost
buttons. Touch the Cancel Art buttons to return to normal operation or touch the Stop
button to cancel the ART process and stop the controller. Normal navigation is disabled until
ART completes. Pending zones will undergo the ART process the next time the system is
started.

Touch the zone to be changed and switch the control mode to PID.
Touch the fields containing the values for the P, I or D parameters to display a keypad.
Enter the new value for the P, I or D parameter, and touch the Accept button.
If necessary, repeat the previous two steps to adjust the other PID parameters.
