Adjusting the Proportional Band
When fine-tuning a proportional band obtained from auto-tuning, or when adjusting the
proportional band manually, note the following points.
- Always adjust downwards from a larger value to a smaller value.
- If oscillations appear, it means that the PB setting is too small.
- Adjusting the proportional band will not eliminate the offset. (Adjusting the Integral
Time (TI) and Manual Reset (MR) parameters may however eliminate the offset.)
