8.2 Ultimate Sensitivity Method
In this method (also called Ziegler Nichols method), determine the PID
constants by analyzing the oscillation waveforms of the measurement
value. You need a recorder to get a picture of the oscillation behavior.
This method is done in AUT/LOC mode.
1. Set the controller in the AUT/LOC mode. See page 25.
2. Set both the integral time (I) and the differential time (d) to 0 seconds.
See page 23.
3. Set the proportional band (P) to a large value. See page 23.
4. Set the target setting and measure the value.
5. After the measurement value stabilizes, decrease the P value, and then
change the target setting value.
6. Decrease the P value until the
measurement value oscillates with a
constant amplitude.
7. Specify the P value at this point as PBu
(%), and the cycle time of the oscillation
as Pu (sec).
8. Determine the PID constants using the
following equations:
Proportional band
P=1.7

I=0.5

9. Entering the PID values determined in the previous step, run the
controller in AUT mode and verify its control responsiveness.
Note:
If the results do not meet your requirements, change the PID values by
referring to "3.6 PID Constants Fine Tuning Method" on page 52.
