TUNING

Before tuning, please read Chapter 2, Operation, to learn how to select and change a parameter.

This chapter has five topics:

∙WHAT IS TUNING?

∙AUTOMATIC TUNING

∙MANUAL TUNING

∙COMMISSIONING OF MOTORISED VALVE CONTROLLERS

∙GAIN SCHEDULING

WHAT IS TUNING?

In tuning, you match the characteristics of the controller to those of the process being controlled in order to obtain good control. Good control means:

∙Stable, ‘straight-line’ control of the process variable at setpoint without fluctuation

∙No overshoot, or undershoot, of the process variable setpoint

∙Quick response to deviations from the setpoint caused by external disturbances, thereby rapidly restoring the process variable to the setpoint value.

Tuning involves calculating and setting the value of the parameters listed in Table 4-1. These parameters appear in the ‘Pid’ list.

Parameter	Code	Meaning or Function

Proportional	Pb	The bandwidth, in display units, over which the output power is
band		proportioned between minimum and maximum.

Integral time	ti	Determines the time taken by the controller to remove steady-
		state error signals.

Derivative time	td	Determines how strongly the controller will react to the rate-of-
		change of the measured value.

High Cutback	Hcb	The number of display units, above setpoint, at which the
		controller will increase the output power, in order to prevent
		undershoot on cool down.

Low cutback	Lcb	The number of display units, below setpoint, at which the
		controller will cutback the output power, in order to prevent
		overshoot on heat up.

Relative cool	rEL	Only present if cooling has been configured and a module is
gain		fitted. Sets the cooling proportional band, which equals the Pb
		value divided by the rEL value.
