5. Tuning Error Description

Err Timeout

Timeout for Pulse experiment: Determined by empiric for pulse experiment of temperature 

processes. At start of phase limit start timeout with one minute (60sec set for pressure controller) 

When limit is reached the slope of the Pv is saved. At start of phase max reset timeout generator (4.5 

minutes) Check active slope of Pv. When slope goes less then 0.35 of saved value, Save elapsed time 

of the running experiment and reset timeout generator with 4.5 of elapsed time. At start of phase 

Delta2 reset timeout generator (4.5 saved time) At start of phase Delta reset timeout generator (4.5 

saved time)

Err limit

The process reaction goes into the wrong direction after setting the controller output pulse.

Err Parameter

The estimated process characteristic values are not valid

(Tg < 0.5 sec) or (Gain < 0.005)

Err Deviation

For pressure controller this is not used. For temperature controller we used this to monitor a 

maximum deviation of 6% for PV.

Err InputFail

Indicate a fail state of measured Pv at screen for tuner state. Step experiment is a hidden option 

activated by controller parameter (PreDiff > 1.0)

Err Timeout

Timeout at step experiment. No visible reaction of process value 1000 seconds after start of 

experiment.

Err Step

Error_Step: Found a deep point of inflexion and the condition ([Tu * Vmax] >50.0) is true
