If the Integral Time value is too long (Weak integral action), deviation between the controlled variable and the setpoint may persist. Contact GEFRAN for more information on control actions. 81503D_MHW_400-401_12-2010_ENG...
8 • MANUAL TUNING A) Enter the setpoint at its working value. B) Set the proportional band at 0.1% (with on-off type setting). C) Switch to automatic and observe the behavior of the variable. It will be Process similar to that in the figure: Variable D) The PID parameters are calculated s follows: Proportional band Peak...
11 • SELF-TUNING The function works for single output systems (heating or cooling). The self-tuning action calculates optimum control parameter values during process startup. The variable (for example, temperature) must be that assumed at zero power (room temperature). The controller supplies maximum power until an intermediate value between starting value and setpoint is reached, after which it zeros power.
OUT = 50mAac threading screws • RS232 / TTL interface cable for configuration of GEFRAN instruments N.B.: The RS232 interface for configuration from PC is supplied along with the programming software. Connect with the instrument powered and with inputs and outputs not connected.
