10 PID CONTROL FUNCTION
10.6 Details of Parameters
Operation setting (s3)+1
Forward operation/backward operation
Set the PID control direction (forward or backward).
• During auto-tuning for the limit cycle method
It is necessary to set the PID control direction (forward or backward) for auto-tuning.
• During auto-tuning for the step response method
The PID control direction (forward or backward) is not required, as the direction is automatically set when auto-tuning is
complete.
• Relationship between the forward/backward operation and the output (MV), measured value (PV) and target value (SV)
The relationship is as follows.
Operation setting (s3)+1: b0 Operation
Forward
operation
(b0=OFF)
As the measured value (PV) becomes larger than the target value
(SV), the output (MV) increases.
For example, cooling is a forward operation.
Backward
operation
(b0=ON)
As the measured value (PV) becomes smaller than the target value
(SV), the output (MV) increases.
For example, heating is a backward operation.
