3.18 Parameters 21-** Extended Closed
Loop
The FC 202 offers 3 extended closed-loop PID controllers in
addition to the PID controller. These controllers can be
configured independently to control either external
actuators (valves, dampers, and so on) or be used together
with the internal PID controller to improve the dynamic
responses to setpoint changes or load disturbances.
The extended closed-loop PID controllers may be intercon-
nected or connected to the PID closed-loop controller to
form a dual loop configuration.
To control a modulating device (for example, a valve
motor), this device must be a positioning servo motor with
built-in electronics accepting either a 0–10 V (signal from
VLT
®
Analog I/O Option MCB 109) or a 0/4–20 mA control
signal.
The output function can be programmed in the following
parameters:
•
Control card, terminal 42:
(options
[113]...[115] or [149]...[151], Ext.
Closed Loop 1/2/3

3.18.1 21-0* Extended CL Autotuning
The extended closed-loop PID controllers can each be
auto-tuned, simplifying and saving time during commis-
sioning, while ensuring accurate PID control adjustment.
To use PID auto-tuning, configure the relevant extended
PID controller for the application.
Use a graphical LCP to react on messages during the auto-
tuning sequence.
Enabling auto-tuning,
parameter 21-09 PID Auto Tuning
puts
the relevant PID controller into PID auto-tuning mode. The
LCP then provides on-screen instructions.
PID auto-tuning introduces step changes and then
monitors the feedback. Based on the feedback response,
the following required values are calculated:
•
PID proportional gain.
-
Parameter 21-21 Ext. 1 Proportional Gain
for EXT CL 1.
-
Parameter 21-41 Ext. 2 Proportional Gain
for EXT CL 2.
-
Parameter 21-61 Ext. 3 Proportional Gain
for EXT CL 3.
•
Integral time.
-
Parameter 21-22 Ext. 1 Integral Time
for
EXT CL 1.
-
Parameter 21-42 Ext. 2 Integral Time
for
EXT CL 2.
-
Parameter 21-62 Ext. 3 Integral Time
for
EXT CL 3.
The PID differentiation time is set to 0 in the following
parameters:
•
Parameter 21-23 Ext. 1 Differentation Time
for EXT
CL 1.
•
Parameter 21-43 Ext. 2 Differentation Time
for EXT
CL 2.
•
Parameter 21-63 Ext. 3 Differentation Time
for EXT
CL 3 are set to value 0 (zero).
•
Parameter 21-20 Ext. 1 Normal/Inverse Control
for
EXT CL 1.
•
Parameter 21-40 Ext. 2 Normal/Inverse Control
for
EXT CL 2.
•
Parameter 21-60 Ext. 3 Normal/Inverse Control
for
EXT CL 3.
These calculated values are presented on the LCP and can
either be accepted or rejected. Once accepted, the values
are written to the relevant parameters, and PID auto-
tuning mode is disabled in
. Depending on the system being controlled, the
time required to carry out PID auto-tuning could be
several minutes.
Before activating the PID auto-tuning, remove excessive
feedback sensor noise using the input filter (parameter
groups
5-5* Pulse Input, 6-** Analog In/Out and 26-** Analog
I/O Option MCB 109
, terminal 53/54 filter time constant,
and pulse filter time constant #29/33).
