Description
Description and Tuning of Proportional Band
6-16
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.
At the same time, a narrower proportional band reduces the offset.
Reducing the proportional band to its smallest limit (proportional band = 0%) results in
ON/OFF control.

To fine-tune a proportional band obtained using auto-tuning, or to manually tune the
proportional band:
• Work from larger to smaller numbers (wider to narrower).
• If cycling appears, that means that the proportional band is too narrow.
• Proportional band tuning cannot cancel an offset.
P is too small.

• If P is too small, oscillation will appear in the measured temperature.
