Example 1:   Example 2: 
Gain = 1.0       Gain = 2.0 
Set-Point = 80%     Set-Point = 80% 
Feedback = 78%     Feedback = 78% 
Error = Set-point - Feedback = 2%    Error = Set-point - Feedback = 2% 
Control Error = Gain x Error = 2%    Control Error = Gain x Error = 4% 
 
Please note that an excessive gain can make the system unstable and oscillation may occur.   
 
The response time of the system can be adjusted with the Integral Gain set by parameter 10-06. 
Increasing the Integral Time will make the system less responsive and decreasing the Integral Gain 
Time will increase response but may result in instability of the total system. 
 
Slowing the system down too much may be unsatisfactory for the process. The end result is that these 
two parameters in conjunction with the acceleration (00-14) and deceleration (00-15) times are 
adjusted to achieve optimum performance for a particular application.     
 
For typical fan and pump applications a Proportional Gain (10-05) of 2.0 and an Integral Time 
(10-06) of 5.0 sec is recommended.
