If Anti Integral (Anti Windup) Submenu "Enabled", this feature allows
the error term outside the proportional band to be calculated and
accumulated for integration. This may be an important feature in
applications where fast response time is desirable.
START AUTO TUNE PID:
Press d
Press b
Press d
If "Enabled", the controller is ready to calculate P, PI or PID parameters.
The instrument performs this by activating the output and observing the
delay and rate at which the Process Value changes. The setpoints must
be at least 18°F or 10°C above the (PV) Process Value in order to
perform Auto Tune, otherwise an error message will be displayed.
To start Auto Tune PlD select PID, enable Auto PID and enable Start PID.
Sometimes Auto PID parameter needs fine tuning i.e. for each 5°F over
shoot increase the Proportional Band (PB) by 15% and for each ±1°F
fluctuation at the Setpoint (SP) increase reset by 20%.
Once started, display shows A.TUN with letters blinking in the rotating
pattern. When auto tune stops, display will show process value. Do not
perform any operations or settings before first stopping Auto Tune. Any
alarms or other output is disabled during Auto Tune.
If "AUTO PID" was "DISABLED", the display will show the following
three submenus. This allows the user to manually enter values for
Proportional, Reset and Rate terms corresponding to P, I, and D. It also
can be used for Auto PID for disabling unwanted parameter i.e. PI enter
0000 for Rate.
