(b) PWM output enable   
PWM output means an output method to turn a junction on – off with a duty proportional to control   
 
 
output calculated by a uniform output cycle. If PWM output is enabled, it realizes PWM output in 
accordance with PWM output cycle set in the parameter of PWM output junction (P20 ~ P3F, in 
case of IEC type, %QX0.0.0~%QX0.0.15) designated in the parameter. At the moment, the PWM 
output cycle follows the PWM output cycle separately set in auto-tuning operation cycle.   
 
(c) SV   
It sets the auto-tuning SV of a loop in question. Similar to PID control, physical values 
(temperature, flow rate, pressure and etc) of an object to control is not meaningful and instead, it 
should use the physical amount of an object to control after converting them into numerals. For 
instance, in order to control a system using a sensor that the output is 0V when its heating device 
temperature is 0℃ while it is 10V when the temperature is 100℃ as much as 50℃, it is 
necessary to set SV as 2000(as long as it uses AD input module XBE-AD04A). 
 
(d) Operation time 
It sets the cycle to execute operation for auto-tuning. The setting cycle is 0.1ms and available 
between 10ms ~ 6553.5ms (setting value: 100 ~ 65,535) while it is set at a unit of integer per 
0.1ms.   
 
(e) Max./min. MV 
It sets the max./min. value of output for auto-tuning. The available scope is between -32,768 ~ 
32,767. If the max. MV is set lower than min. MV, the auto-tuning function of a loop generates an 
error and does not work.   
 
(f) Hysteresis setting 
Looking at relay tuning in Figure 15.15, it shows it outputs the max. MV as auto-tuning starts but 
it converts to min. output as PV is over SV and then, it converts to the max. output as PV is lower 
than  SV.  However,  if  input  PV  contains  noise  components  or  reply  components,  auto-tuning 
ends  by  a  slight  vibration  of  PV  around  SV,  yielding  incorrect  tuning  result.  To  prevent  it, 
hysteresis may be set. XGB auto-tuning converts output at SV + Hysteresis when PV increases 
or at SV – Hysteresis when it decreases once hysteresis is set. With it, it may prevent incorrect 
tuning by a slight vibration around SV.
