6.2 Proportional (P) Action
6.2.1 Differences between ON/OFF Action and Proportional Action
•
The proportional band is the parameter
that determines the effectiveness of
proportional action.
•
The figure on the left shows a
proportional action by comparison to the
simplest control action: ON/OFF action.

Output varies continuously in proportion
to amount of deviation.
A steady-state deviation (offset) between
measured temperature and setpoint is
inherent to the operating principle.

6.2.2 Proportional Band (P) Details
•
"Proportional band" is defined as the
amount of change* in input (or
deviation), as a percent of span, required
to cause the control output to change
from 0% to 100%.
•
Because a narrower proportional band
gives greater output change for any
given deviation, it therefore also makes
the control performance more
susceptible to oscillation. At the same
time, a narrower proportional band
reduces the offset.
•
Reducing the proportional band to its
smallest limit (proportional band = 0%)
results in ON/OFF control. UT100 series
controllers select ON/OFF control using
the parameter "CTL".
•
Note that the unit of proportional band
is the percent of PV input span, or actual
temperature in engineering units. For
UT100 series, set the actual
temperature.
