This considerably reduces settling times for pressure jumps. The two required model parameters ("Tuning increase"/"Tuning decrease") can be determined automatically via hom- ing. The determined model parameters can also be adjusted manually afterwards. Free entry of these two model parameters without homing is also possible. Festo — VPPI-...-D — 2019-12...
