Autotuning

If a tune error condition occurs, the upper display will toggle

between and a numeric error code for three seconds before the tune process terminates. The controller will then automatically go into Standby mode when a tuning error occurs. Possible error codes are:

02 = No PID Device Configured

03 = Incorrect Output Action

05 = Insufficient Setpoint-Process Value Deviation

08 = Invalid Tune Results

09 = Tune Timeout
