These parameters set the PID constants for each PID set. If auto-tuning is executed, these parameters
are set automatically.
*.p
PID * Proportional Band
2-PID control must be used.
*.i
PID * Integral Time
*.d
PID * Derivative Time (*: 1 to 8)
P
action:
For the P action, the MV is proportional to the derivative.
I action: For the I action, an output is produced that is proportional to the time integral of the
derivative. An offset normally occurs with the proportional action, so the proportional
action is used in combination with the integral action. As time passes, this offset disap-
pears and the control temperature comes to match the set point.
D
action:
For the D action, an output is produced that is proportional to the time derivative of the
input. Because the proportional action and integral action correct for errors in the con-
trol result, the control system will be slow to respond to sudden changes in temperature.
The derivative action performs a corrective action by increasing the MV in proportion to
the slope of the temperature change.
* The unit is determined by the setting of the Integral/Derivative Time Unit parameter.
The Proportional Band, Integral Time, and Derivative Time parameters are initialized if the
Integral/Derivative Time Unit parameter is changed.
