Sensor correction function This corrects the input value from the sensor. When a sensor cannot be set at the exact location where control is desired, the sensor-measured temperature may deviate from the temperature in the controlled location. When using multiple controllers, sometimes the measured temperatures (input value) do not match (even if SV is the same value) due to differences in sensor accuracy or dispersion of load capacities.

9. AT (Auto-tuning) In order to decide each value of P, I, D and ARW automatically, the auto-tuning process should be made to fluctuate to obtain an optimal value. One of 3 types of fluctuation below is automatically selected. For DC input, the AT process will fluctuate around the SV for conditions of (A), (B) and (C). Sometimes the auto-tuning process will not fluctuate if auto-tuning is performed at or near room temperature.
