DECS-200 BESTCOMS Software 5-35
Adding To PID List
PID parameters can be added to a list and recalled for operational use and comparison. To add to the list,
type the name for the generator (or other appropriate information) in the generator information box.
Choose the generator time constant and, if appropriate, the exciter time constant. Observe the PID gain
parameters in the Field Output Data boxes. If these gain parameters are appropriate, select the Add to
PID List button. To check for the new parameters, pull down the PID Parameters List (click on the down
arrow). The new gain and time constant parameters will be displayed.
Removing A PID List Record
PID parameters can also be removed from the list. To remove a list (record), pull down the PID
Parameters List and select the record or list so that the gain and time constant parameters are
displayed. Click the Remove Record button and the listed record is deleted.
Retrieving Existing Data From PID List
To retrieve existing data, pull down the PID Parameters List and select the record or list so that the gain
and time constant parameters are displayed and highlighted. Click the Get from a list button and the
listed record input and output data displays in the text boxes.
TERMINATING COMMUNICATION
Communication between BESTCOMS and the DECS-200 is terminated by clicking Communications on
the menu bar and clicking C
lose Comm Port.
CAUTION
Improper PID numbers can result in poor system performance or equipment
damage.
