8 - 1 AT (auto tuning) Function
8-2
The AT (auto tuning) function is used in the following cases:
• The PID constants are set automatically with the control method set at “Fixed PID” ([CtrL = 1]).
• The PV rise is slow or overshoot is large in the control with the PID constants, which have been set automatically
using the ST function.
• The PV rise becomes slow or overshoot becomes large with the control method set at ST ([CtrL] = 1).
The AT function can be used when the control method is set at either “Fixed PID” ([CtrL] = 1) or ST ([CtrL = 2]).
■ Starting procedures
(1) Make sure that the PV input or operation end (heater power, etc.) is
controllable.
(2) Make sure that the mode indicator [rdy] is off and the operation is in the RUN
mode. If the indicator [rdy] is lit and the operation is in the READY mode,
change the mode to the RUN mode.
With the default settings before shipment, when the [mode] key is kept pressed
for 1 sec. or longer, the RUN/READY mode selection can be made.
(3) Make sure that the mode indicator [man] is off and the operation is in the
AUTO mode. If the indicator [man] is lit and the operation is in the MANUAL
mode, change the mode to the AUTO mode.
With the default settings before shipment, the AUTO/MANUAL mode
selection can be performed using the parameter setting, AUTO/MANUAL [A
-- M].
(4) Set the parameter setting [AT Stop/Start] to “AT start ([At] = [At.on])”.
■ Stopping procedures
The AT function is completed automatically. To stop the AT function, which is
running, change the parameter setting [AT Stop/Start] to AT stop ([At] = [At.oF]).
Additionally, the AT function is stopped when changing the READY mode to the
MANUAL mode.
● Display during execution of AT
The decimal point at the 1st digit of the display No. 1 (right end digit) flashes
twice repeatedly while the AT function is running. When the AT function is
completed and the PID constants are changed, this LED goes off.
