3.4 Tuning Set Up Group
Introduction
Tuning consists of establishing the appropriate values for the tuning constants
you are using so that your controller responds correctly to changes in process
variable and setpoint. You can start with predetermined values but you will have
to watch the system to see how to modify them. The Accutune feature
automatically selects Gain, Rate, and Reset on demand.
ATTENTION
Because this group contains functions that have to do with security and lockout, we
recommend that you configure this group last, after all other configuration data has
been loaded.
