Loading Material into PrecisionFlo Module
Entering Nominal Values for Kp and Kd
The values you enter for Kp and Kd depend on the
viscosity of the material and type of application in
which you are using the PrecisionFlo module. Use
Table 2 as a guide for nominal Kp and Kd settings.
CAUTION
Kp and Kd are control loop parameters which, if
changed incorrectly, could result in damage to the
module. These parameters should be changed by
qualified personnel only.
For more information about setting Kp and and Kd, see
pages 24 – 33.
