Appendix D - Using Accutune II

D.3 Using Accutune with Duplex (Heat/Cool) Control

Introduction

“TUNE” can be done for applications using Duplex (Heat/Cool) control.

During tuning, Accutune II assumes SP 1 will cause a Heating demand, and then the calculated tuning parameters will be automatically entered as the first set of PID constants. Likewise, it assumes tuning at Local SP 2 will cause a Cooling demand, and the cooling parameters will be entered as the second set of PID constants.

Procedure

After “TUNE” has been enabled in the tuning set up group as described in Section 4, use the procedure in Table D-2to start tuning. Note that control group parameter “NumSPs” must be set to “TWO” to enable the second setpoint.

To abort tuning in progress, press the MAN/AUTO/RESET key to take the recorder out of Auto mode. The message “AbRT” (abort) will be displayed as the value of tuning set up group parameter “AT ERR”. The tuning parameters will retain the values they had at the start of the Accutune operation.
