Caution
PID values calculated by the Auto Tuning function are to be
implemented only after their suitability for the application has been
verified by the user. Incorrect PID numbers can result in poor system
performance or equipment damage.

FCR stability settings and FVR stability settings are illustrated
in Figure 101.
FCR Mode Stability Settings
The DECS-250 bases its field current output upon the following settings.
The proportional gain (K
p
)
A
is multiplied by the error between the field current setpoint and the actual field
current value. Decreasing K
p
reduces overshoot in the transient response. Increasing K
p
speeds the
transient response.
The integral gain (K
i
)
B
is multiplied by the integral of the error between the current setpoint and the actual
field current value. Increasing Ki reduces the time to reach a steady state.
