Introduction advanced settings:
These settings are designated to
experts. If you do not understand a
particular setting, leave the value
unchanged.
A “P controller” only considers the
difference between setpoint and actual
value.
A “PD controller” additionally considers the
speed with which the actual value changes.
A
“PID
controller”
additionally
compensates for small deviations that
occur over a longer period of time.
The “fuzzy CO
₂
controller” makes an
assumption for the required CO
₂
dose
based on the set values. It learns from the
following
CO
₂
dispensations to
compensate for inaccuracies.
