KPG 
0.10 to 10.00 
PROCESS GAIN—This prompt appears only when 
SP or SP+PV has been selected. This is the Gain of 
the Loop 1 process being tuned. It is automatically 
recalculated during the tuning process. This is 
normally a READ ONLY value, but can be changed 
manually if the controller fails to identify the process. 
In that case, set the KPG value to the algebraic 
value of PV in percent divided by the output in 
percent while in manual mode. 
For example, if the PV range is 0 to 2400, the PV is 
currently at 1200 and the output is currently at 
50.0%, then KPG should be set to 
1200/2400∗100/50 or 1.0. 
CRITERIA 
 
TUNING CRITERIA (SETPOINT ADAPTIVE)—This 
prompt appears only when SP or SP+PV has been 
selected. Select criteria best suited for your process. 
 
NORMAL 
NORMAL—Original critical damping (no overshoot). 
 
FAST 
FAST—A more aggressive tuning with overshoot 
equal to or less than 0.5%. 
ACCUTUNE2 
 
 
Same selections as for 
Loop 1. 
ACCUTUNE III FOR LOOP 2—Available only when 
the instrument is configured for Cascade or Two 
Loop operation. 
Same selections as for Loop 1. 
DUPLEX 2 
 
 
 
Same selections as for 
Loop 1. 
DUPLEX ACCUTUNING III FOR LOOP 2—These 
prompts only appear when a duplex output type has 
been configured for Loop 2 and TUNE or TUNE+PV 
has been selected. 
Same selections as for Loop 1. 
SP CHAN2 
5 to 15% 
SETPOINT CHANGE—This prompt appears only 
when SP or SP+PV has been selected for Loop 2. 
This is the minimum Setpoint change on Loop 2 that 
will result in a re-tuning process. 
KPG 2 
0.10 to 10.00 
PROCESS GAIN FOR LOOP 2—This prompt 
appears only when SP or SP+PV has been selected. 
This is the Gain of the Loop 2 process being tuned. 
CRITERA2 
 
 
Same selections as for 
Loop 1. 
TUNING CRITERIA (SETPOINT ADAPTIVE) FOR 
LOOP 2—This prompt appears only when SP or 
SP+PV has been selected for Loop 2. 
Same selections as for Loop 1.
