C6.9.2 Zone PID Selection
Setting the Zone PID Selection (ZONE) parameter to “1: Enabled” selects Zone PID
Selection as the PID selection method.
The Zone PID Selection method switches between PID parameter groups automatically
depending on the PV value. It can be used in chemical reaction apparatus where the
chemical reaction gain changes with temperature.
As shown in the figure below, the input range defined by the upper and lower limits can
be divided into three zones using the Reference Point 1 (1RP) and Reference Point 2
(2RP) parameters. You can assign optimal PID values for each of these zones. As the PV
value moves from the current zone to a different zone, the module automatically switches
to the PID values assigned to that new zone.

Changes in PV
If the current PV is here, control
proceeds using PID constants of
group 3.

Note: If 1RP ≥ 2RP, the 2RP parameter is handled as though its value is equal to 1RP.
