1.3
While optimizing I gain, the gas flow determined above has to be constant all the time.
Start with P gain set to half of the value found when optimizing P gain and set I gain to 1.0.
Keep the P gain constant.
Set chamber pressure to SP2, wait until the pressure is stable. Set pressure to SP1. If the transition from
SP2 to SP1 results in a significant pressure over shoot or if the valve position does not stabilize, I gain is
to high. If the transition results in a slow asymptotical pressure rise and there is still a constant deviation
to SP2, the I gain is too low.
The optimal value for I gain is found if the transition from SP2 to SP1 result in just a slight pressure over
shoot, a stable valve position and the actual pressure matches SP2 exactly.
Example:
Check control performance over the whole control range with parameters above.
