When the setting value is 0, the function is 
not enabled. For example, if the setting value 
is 5, and the difference between the present 
value and the target value is in the range of -5 
to 5, the output value is 0.

d. Additional remarks on PID control 
(1)  If K
p
, K
i
, or K
d
 is 0, the corresponding function is disabled. For example, if users only want 
to use proportional control, K
i
 and K
d
 are 0. 
(2)  If users do not know how to adjust the parameters K
p
, K
i
, and K
d
 under a controlled 
environment, they can use the automatic tuning function to set the parameters, and then 
finely adjust the parameters to the optimum values. When the automatic tuning function 
is enabled, the value in a register defined by the users is 1. After the automatic tuning of 
the parameters is complete, the value in the register becomes 0. 
(3)  If users want to set the parameters K
p
, K
i
, and K
d
 by themselves, they need to set the K
p
 
by experience, and set the K
i
, and K
d
 to 0. After the tuning of the K
p
 is complete, the 
users can tune the K
i
, and K
d
 in order.
