3.10.2.3 Setpoint ramp adjustment
Setpoint ramp effects:
• Undershoot of pressure
• Response time
Default value is 1.0 s. Adjustment range is from 0 to 10 s.
This parameter defines the time that is used to decrease / raise pressure between 2 setpoints. Especially in pressure
decrease situations at low flows pressure response can be improved much by adapting setpoint ramp time.
Adjustment procedure:
1. Start with optimal gain factor and sensor delay time according to preceding tuning steps.
2. Control a typical pressure / flow situation.
3. Control a lower
pressure.
4. Repeat from step 2 with longer setpoint ramps until best response is achieved.
5. Verify pressure control response for a setpoint raise situation.
Local operation:
(‘Control View’ resp. ‘Control Performance Analyzer’)
Remote operation:
Go to ‘Setup / Controller’ menu.
Select setpoint ramp.
Note: It’s not possible to do setpoint ramp adjustment
via remote operation.
