Heating Loop with PID Control

PID Control Setup

1. Access the Initial Setup mode by pressing and holding the

;

button for three seconds. Press the

button repeatedly until the parameter

Ctrl

appears. Confirm the default value

Pid

is selected for PID

control. Press the

button to access the parameter

s-hC

Confirm the default value

heat

is select-

ed for controlling a heating loop. Press the

;

button to return to the controller main screen.

2. Press the

button to access the parameter

r-s

. Verify that the default value

run

is selected. Press

the

;

button to return to the controller main screen.

3. Refer to Section 12-1 of this Quick Start Guide to set up the PID control parameters.
4. If the temperature controller’s output #1 is discrete, access the regulation mode again by pressing the

;

button for less than three seconds. Press the

button repeatedly until the parameter

htpd

appears. Use

the

and

buttons to set the time period in seconds for the heating control. Press the

;

button twice

to save the value and return to the controller main screen.

There are four groups for storing PID parameters,

pid0

(PID0) -

pid3

(PID3). Press the

;

button for

less than three seconds and press the

button repeatedly until the parameter

pid0

appears. Use the

and

buttons to select which group to use for storing the PID parameters. Press the

;

button to

confirm the setting. The groups

pid0

pid3

can be individually set up with different SV values to be used

in the control process. If the group

pid4

is selected, the controller will automatically select the most useful

PID parameters based on the current temperature setting and the SV value set in each PID group.
The parameters for PID can be auto-tuned using the

parameter. Access this parameter by pressing the

;

button for less than three seconds. Use the

button to turn the auto-tune feature

. Press the

;

button

to save the value. Optimal PID values are automatically determined with the auto-tune feature. PID operation
can also be controlled by programming the individual

, and

parameters for each PID group. Access these

parameters by pressing the

;

button for less than three seconds and press the

button repeatedly until

the parameter

appears where

corresponds to the PID group you are programming. Use the

and

buttons to change the value for the Proportional band if desired and press the

. Verify that the default value

run

is selected. Press

the

;

button to return to the controller main screen.

for

controlling a dual heating / cooling loop. This parameter sets the heating control to output #1 and the cooling

control to output #2. Press the

;

button twice to save the value and return to the controller main screen.

2. Press the

button to access the parameter

r-s

. Verify that the default value

run

is selected. Press

the

;

button to return to the controller main screen.

4. If the temperature controller’s output #1 is discrete, access the regulation mode again by pressing the

;

button for less than three seconds. Press the

button repeatedly until the parameter

htpd

appears. Use

the

and

buttons to set the time period in seconds for output #1, the heating control. Press the

;

button to save the value. If the temperature controller’s output #2 is discrete, press the

button repeatedly until

the parameter

hCpd

appears. Use the

and

buttons to enter the cycle period in seconds for output

#2, the cooling output. Press the

;

button twice to save the value and return to the controller main screen.

5. Optional regulation parameters can be programmed for a second

control output. If this is desired, access the regulation mode again by

pressing the

;

button for less than three seconds. Press the

button repeatedly until the parameter

Coef

appears. This value allows

the cooling control to have a different proportional setting than the heating

loop. The heating loop proportional band setting is multiplied by the

Coef

value to create a proportional band setting for the cooling loop

control. Use the

and

buttons to change this value if desired.

Press the

;

button to save the selected value. Press the

button to

access the parameter

dead

. Use the

and

buttons to enter a

deadband zone value around the setpoint where the output is not effected

by the proportional control value. As long as the PV remains within the

deadband zone the output is not affected by the proportional control. The

integral and derivative controls ignore the deadband setting and may

cause the output to be on within the deadband zone. Press the

;

button twice to save the value and return to the controller main screen.
