Auto Tuning
During commissioning, excitation system parameters may not be known. These unknown variables
traditionally cause the commissioning process to consume large amounts of time and fuel. With the
development of auto tuning, the excitation system parameters are now automatically identified and the
PID gains are calculated using well-developed algorithms. Automatically tuning the PID controller greatly
reduces commissioning time and cost. The auto tuning function is accessed by clicking the Auto Tune
button (Figure 16-1, Locator H). BESTCOMSPlus must be in Live Mode in order to begin the auto tuning
process. The auto tuning window (Figure 16-3) provides options for choosing the PID Design Mode and
the Power Input Mode. When the desired settings are selected, the Start Auto Tune button is clicked to
start the process. After the process is complete, click the Save PID Gains (Primary) button to save the
data.
Caution
PID values calculated by the Auto Tuning function are to be
implemented only after their suitability for the application has been
verified by the user. Incorrect PID numbers can result in poor system
performance or equipment damage.
