Setting the cutback values
The above procedure sets up the parameters for optimum steady state control. If unacceptable levels of overshoot or undershoot occur during
Proceed as follows:
1.Set the low and high cutback values to three proportional bandwidths (that is to say, Lcb = Hcb = 3 x Pb).
2.Note the level of overshoot, or undershoot, that occurs for large atmosphere changes (see the diagrams below).
In example (a) increase ‘Lcb’ by the overshoot value. In example (b) reduce ‘Lcb’ by the undershoot value.

Where the atmosphere approaches setpoint from above, you can set ‘Hcb’ in a similar manner.
