SET UP

FIG. 4-18 PID SETTINGS DESCRIPTION

Set the PID parameters accordingly to control the process temperature. When the unit is first powered on, all 

parameters are set to 0. Press the “

LOAD DEFAULT SETTINGS

” button to establish a parameter base. Tune the 

parameters based on the system reaction. 

1.  Proportional Gain 

- Set proportional gain (Kp) value, Range: 1-1000. Establishes proportional band 

hysteresis. 

2.  Integration Factor 

- Set integration factor (Ti) value, Range: 0-100. Applies integral value to correct error in 

output curve.

3.  Derivation Factor 

- Set derivation factor (Td) value, Range: 0-50. Stabilizes output curve to minimize over-

correction from integration factor.

4.  Load Default Settings 

- Loads default PID parameters. Tune the parameters based on system reaction.

5.  Back
