Setpoint 3 is used in Closed Loop Mode to enter a setpoint reference that may be used by the
frequency converter’s PID Controller. See the description of par. 20-20 Feedback Function.
NB!
If the min and max references are altered, a new PI - Autotune may be needed.

2.17.4 20-7* PID autotuning
The frequency converter PID Closed Loop controller (parameters 20-**, FC Closed Loop) can be auto-tuned, simplifying and saving time during com-
missioning, whilst ensuring accurate PID control adjustment. To use auto-tuning it is necessary for the frequency converter to be configured for closed
loop in par.1-00
.
A Graphical Local Control Panel (LCP) must be used in order to react on messages during the auto-tuning sequence.
Enabling par.20-79
, puts the frequency converter into auto-tuning mode. The LCP then directs the user with on-screen instructions.
The fan/pump is started by pressing [Auto On] button on the LCP and applying a start signal. The speed is adjusted manually by pressing the [
▲
] or
[
▼
] navigation keys on the LCP to a level where the feedback is around the system set-point.
NB!
It is not possible to run the motor at maximum or minimum speed, when manually adjusting the motor speed due to the need of giving
the motor a step in the speed during auto-tuning.
PID auto-tuning functions by introducing step changes whilst operating at a steady state and then monitoring the feedback. From the feedback response,
the required values for par.20-93
PID Differentiation Time
is set to
value 0 (zero). par. 20-81
PID Normal/ Inverse Control
is determined during tuning process.
These calculated values are presented on the LCP and the user can decide whether to accept or reject them. Once accepted, the values are written to
the relevant parameters and auto-tuning mode is disabled in par.20-79
. Depending on the system being controlled the time required to
carry out auto-tuning could be several minutes.
It is advised to set the ramp times in par.3-41
and par.
according to the load inertia before carrying out PID autotuning. If PID autotuning is carried out with slow ramp times,
the auto-tuned parameters will typically result in very slow control. Excessive feedback sensor noise should be removed using the input filter (parameter
groups 6-**, 5-5* and 26-**, Terminal 53/54 Filter Time Constant/Pulse Filter Time Constant #29/33) before activating PID autotuning. In order to obtain
the most accurate controller parameters, it is advised to carry out PID autotuning, when the application is running in typical operation, i.e. with a typical
load.
