Message

Explanation 

Action

The process is too slow for the auto 
tuning to work correctly.

The input failure level has been 
exceeded, possibly due to a broken 
sensors or the process has exceeded 
one of the auto-tune limits.

With '

At Set Point'

 tuning, the ratio of 

process oscillation to hysteresis value is 
too small for best results.

The auto-tune process has selected a 
proportional band or integral action time 
above the high limits of these parameters 
so the high value has been used.

Because of the process 
characteristics, re-trying the auto-
tuning process is unlikley to improve 
the calculated control parameters.

Restart auto-tune with a larger output 
step size or a smaller hysteresis value.  
Hysteresis must be at least equal to 
and preferably greater than process 
noise.

If possible, use a larger output step 
value.

Check input wiring to find the cause of 
the failure or restart auto-tuning with a 
smaller output step size.

The process variable signal is 
excessively 'noisy'.

Check input wiring to try and find the 
source of the problem. If the process 
is changing rapidly then allow it to 
settle before re-trying the auto-tuning 
process.

With '

Start-up'

 tuning, the process 

variable is <10% of the display range, 
below the control set point.

Allow the process variable to move 
further below the control set point 
before re-trying '

Start-up

' auto-tuning. 

Alternatively, use the '

At Set Point

auto-tune facility.

With '

Start-up' 

tuning, although the control 

set point was >10% of the display range 
above the process variable, it may still be 
too close to allow the auto-tune facility to 
determine the process characteristics 
accurately.

If desired, allow the process variable 
to move further below the control set 
point (by changing the control output 
in the manual control mode) before 
re-trying '

Start-up

' auto-tuning. 

Alternatively, use the '

At  Set  Point

auto-tune facility.

Operator has stopped auto-tune 
process.

None.

Non-volatile memory failure while 
updating control parameters.

Re-try auto-tune, if error persists 
contact local Service Organization.

The auto-tune process is too slow.

If possible, use a larger output step 

value. Otherwise, for '

Start-up'

 auto-

tuning, move the process closer to the 
set point, or, for '

At Set Point

auto-tuning, reduce the hysteresis value.
