WARNING:
The
Kc VALUE
and
Ti VALUE
allow you to
manually change the primary PID control loop
variables.
DO NOT CHANGE THESE
VALUES UNLESS YOU HAVE A
THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF PID
CONTROL LOOPS. CONTACT TSI FOR
ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO CHANGING
ANY VALUES.
Contact TSI for assistance in
determining your control problem and for
instructions on how to change a value.
Incorrectly changing a value will result in poor
or non-existent control.
Suggestion:
Before changing Kc or Ti, change the
SPEED
or adjust the
SENSITIVITY
to try to eliminate
the problem.
The
Kc VALUE
item changes the gain control coefficient of the
primary control loop (flow tracking loop). When this item is
entered, a value for Kc is indicated on the display. If the AOC is
not controlling correctly, the Kc gain control coefficient may
need adjusting. Decreasing Kc
will slow the control system
down, which will increase stability. Increasing Kc will increase
the control system which may cause system instability.
The
Ti VALUE
item changes the integral control coefficient of
the primary control loop (flow tracking loop). When this item is
entered, a value for Ti is indicated on the display. If the AOC is
not controlling correctly, the unit may have an inappropriate
integral control coefficient. Increasing Ti will slow the control
system which will increase stability. Decreasing Ti will increase
the control system speed which may cause system instability.
Kc = 0–1000
Ti = 0-1000
The range of values is
very large. Poor control
will occur if values are
more than twice or less
than ½ the default value
Kc = 80
Ti = 200
