CONTROL CYCLE (

CFG

CtRL

)

This is the Control Cycle:

Control mode

This cycle allows you to configure the parameters that refer to the control mode and the device tuning process. See

PID PARAMETERS

chapter for

more information about PID control and tuning processes.

Atun

uto-

Allows you to define the tuning mode to be used:

off

– Disabled

Fast

– Fast auto-tuning

FULL

– Precise auto-tuning

seLf

– P auto-adaptive tuning

rsLf

– Forces a new p auto-adaptive auto-tuning

TGHt

– Forces a new p auto-tuning when

RUN

or when the controller is on

roportional

and

Proportional Band. Value of the

term of the PID control mode, in percent of the input type maximum range. Adjustable between

0 and 500.0 %.

When set to 0.0 (zero), determines the ON/OFF control mode.
