7.2 Control behaviour
7.2.1 Control parameters P I D
Description The automatic determination of the control parameters P I D is called
classification. It is performed automatically after the controller outputs are
switched on and overwrites all previous settings of the control parame-
ters.
PID-Parameter
When classifying the zones, the controller sends a defined heating im-
pulse to each zone in order to automatically determine the heating
behaviour of e.g. the nozzle or manifold. The controller determines the
suitable control parameters for P, I and D and stores them in the parame-
ters
, and .
The process can be recognized by the flashing green LED band and can
take up to 60s for large, sluggish objects. The determined classification
can be viewed for each zone under Parameter
.
Activate and deactivate classification
To obtain special settings of the P, I and D parameters in any case, the
classification per zone can be switched off with the parameter
= "0".
