Self-tuning Control
7-4
Self-tuning Control is a control which automatically calculate the value of PID, under the condi-
tion that the control target or set value (SV) changes.
Self-tuning is especially effective for situations when a high level of control is not needed, but
auto-tuning cannot be run due to frequent changes in the control target conditions.
When a high level of control is required, choose PID control, fuzzy PID

control, or PID2 control.
Conditions where self-tuning can be used
Self-tuning is used in the following situations:
When temperature rises when the power is turned on
•
When temperature rises when SV changes (or when the controller decides it is necessary)
•
When the controller decides it is necessary because the controls have become unstable
•
Conditions where self-tuning cannot be used
Self-tuning cannot be used in the following situations:
During control standby
•
•
During ON/OFF (2-position) control
During auto-tuning
•
•
During ramp soak progress
When there is error input
•
•
When set for dual output
When any of the P, I, D, Ar parameters are set to manual
•
•
During manual mode
During soft start progress
•
Conditions to halt self-tuning
Halt self-tuning in the following situations:
When there is a change in SV (This includes the case where SV changes because of the
•
ramp soak function, remote SV function, or ramp SV.)
When self-tuning has not finished after running for nine or more hours
•

Turn on power of the controller and set the SV.

To reset self-tuning, set the control method to PID ("PiD") once
before changing back to self-tuning.
PID2 Control
7-5
In case which the power supply of the control target goes ON → OFF → ON, this PID2 control
can suppress the amount of overshoot.
This control introduces an algorithm to prevent the calculated PID result from becoming a mis-
calculation, even when the control loop is open.
You will need to run auto-tuning to set the Pid parameter when using Pid2 control.

will be maintained even when the power is turned off. However, the
PID value will not be changed if the power is turned off during auto-
tuning. In this case, rerun auto-tuning.
•
The equipment will use ON/OFF (2 position) control during auto-
tuning, so there may be a large change in PV according to the pro-
cess. Do not use auto-tuning for processes that do not permit a
large change in PV. Do not use auto-tuning for processes such as
pressure control and flow control that have a fast response.
Auto-tuning is not behaving normally if it has not finished after four
•
or more hours have passed. In these cases, recheck parameters
such as input/output wiring, control output behavior (normal/
reverse), and input sensor type.
•
Rerun auto-tuning if there is a large change in SV, a change in the
PV input type, or a change in the control target conditions that
reduces the effectiveness of the controls.
•
You can run auto-tuning when the control type is set to "fuzzy" or "PID2".
You cannot run auto-tuning in manual mode.
•
•
When using the PID selection function, the auto-tuning result for
the selected PID group is stored.
Auto tuning is forcibly terminated when SV changes because of
•
the ramp soak function, remote SV function, or ramp SV.
