5) If auto-tuning is complete or there is any error during auto-tuning, M0001 junction is set, 
blocking  operation  of  PIDAT  command  and  it  outputs  min.  MV  set  in  parameter  to  D/A 
output module.   
 
(c) Monitoring and changing PID control variables using K area 
In XGB series built-in auto-tuning, it can monitor and change RUN status of auto-tuning by 
using K area allocated as fixed area by loops.   
 
1) Variable registration 
If selecting “Register in Variable/Description” by right clicking in the variable monitor 
window, “Variable/Device Selection” window appears. Select “Item” as PID, deselect 
“View All” and enter 0(means loop number) in “Parameter No”, K area device list to save 
every setting and status of loop 0 appears as shown Figure 15.22. Then, if selecting a 
variable to monitor and clicking “OK”, a selected device is registered to variable monitor 
window as illustrated in Figure 15.23. Through the monitor window, a user can monitor 
auto-tuning run status or change the settings.
