Figure 52. Pre-Tune Operation

When Pre-Tune is completed, the PID control output power is applied using the calculated values. Pre-Tune limits the possibility of setpoint overshoot when the controller is new or the application has been changed.

Pre-Tune can be selected from the Automatic Tuning Menu. It will not engage if either primary or secondary outputs on a controller are set for On-Off control, during setpoint/profile ramping or if the process variable is less than 5% of the input span from the setpoint. As a single-shot operation, Pre-Tune will automatically disengage once complete, but can be configured to run at every power up using the Auto Pre-Tune function.

Power Output Limits

Used to limit the power levels of the primary and secondary control outputs. Normally the instrument can set these outputs to any value between 0% and 100%. If this is undesirable in a particular application, individual settings can limit the primary power upper and lower levels and the secondary power upper and lower levels. The upper limit values must be higher than the lower limits. These parameters are not applicable if that output is set for On-Off control. Use with caution: The instrument will not be able to control the process if the limits do not allow the outputs to be set to the correct values to maintain setpoint.

Lower Limit settings = 0% and 100%

Default Value = 0%.

Upper Limit settings = 0% and 100%

Default Value = 100%.
