Control Efficiency Monitor
Note. With cascade control, the Control Efficiency Monitor is applicable only to the master
controller.
The Control Efficiency Monitor can be used either to compare the relative performance with different
tuning parameters, or when fine tuning the PID settings, to give optimum control.
When the set point is changed, auto mode is selected or following a power failure, input failure or a
large load disturbance, the control monitor performs a series of measurements to indicate the
effectiveness of the current control parameters.
General guidelines are shown in Table 2.2.
