14 - TUNING 
Tuning operation allows the setting of optimal PID parameters 
in order to assure good control action: 
-Stable,  “straight-line”  control  of  temperature  around  setpoint, 
without fluctuations;  
-quick response to deviations from setpoint caused by external 
noises 
Tuning  involves  calculating  and  setting  of  the  following 
parameters: 
•  Proportional  band  (inertia  of  plant;  expressed  as  °C  for 
temperature) 
•  Integral time (determines the time taken by the controller to 
remove steady-state error signals, Inertia of plant expresses 
as time value); 
•  Derivative  time  (reaction  of  controller  to  change  of 
measured value, usually  ¼ of integral time) 
Setpoint value cannot be modified during Autotuning.
