3.11 Parameter group 7: Control parameters
3.11.1 KP UP – KP value (up)
NOTE
In the case of most actuators, all control parameters can be optimized by using Auto Adjust. Changes should
only be made when auto adjust cannot be executed or control stability cannot be achieved.
The KP value is the gain of the controller. The control speed and stability are influenced by the KP value. With higher KP values, the
control speed increases.
NOTE
The control precision is not affected by the KP value.
To compensate for existing dissymmetries in the controlled system, the KP value should be set separately for both positioning directions
(up / down).
For most actuators, a satisfactory control response is achieved with a KP value in the 2.0 ... 10.0 range. Use the parameter KP UP to
adjust the KP value for the upward positioning direction (towards 100 %).
