Accutune III
Introduction
Accutune III (TUNE) may be used for self-regulating and single
integrating processes. This autotuning method is initiated on-
demand, typically at initial start-up.
There are no other requirements necessary, such as prior knowledge
to the process dynamics or initial or post tune process line-out to
setpoint or manual output.
Also, the setpoint value is not required to change in order to initiate
the tuning process, but the controller must be in the Automatic mode
to start tuning. The process need not be in a static (lined out) state
and may be dynamic (changing with a steady output).
Configuration check

n
