Setting The Controller Characteristics (Tuning) - Siemens SIMATIC S5 Manual

4.5 Setting the Controller Characteristics (Tuning)

The setting range of the most common controllers for temperature and pressure are listed below.
Once you have selected the suitable controller, the controller characteristics must be adapted to
the controller system.

Rule of thumb for parameter settings
For controllers with a PID and PD/PID structure, the setting of the integral action time and the
derivative action time are connected.
With PD controllers, the derivative action time T
oscillations occur if the integral action time T
Too high an integral action slows down the correction of disturbances. No-one can expect that
control loops function perfectly after the first parameter assignment. Generally, re-adjustments are
necessary if the system is difficult to control, i.e. T
