Start-up and settings
When the pointers meet, wait until also
the automatic output (4) on the bottom
scale reaches the manual output (5).
If necessary, slightly adjust the set point
to allow the automatic output to match
the manual output more quickly. After
they match, set the set point back to the
controlled variable. Continue as de-
scribed in 5.
P and PD controllers with operating point
adjuster:
−
Set the manual/automatic switch to auto-
matic.
−
Adjust the operating point at the operat-
ing point adjuster in the range between
0 and 100 % until the controlled variable
(red pointer) is identical with the adjust-
ed set point (green pointer). Continue as
described in 6.
5. Change the manual/automatic switch to
automatic
.
6. Starting from a low value, increase the
proportional-action coefficient Kp until
the red controlled variable pointer shows
an harmonic oscillation pattern of the
controlled variable (uniform oscillation
amplitudes as shown in Fig. 4).
If oscillations do not arise with a large
Kp setting, turn the rotary knob to slight-
ly change the set point and then return it
to its former setting. It may be necessary
to increase the gain (Kp) slightly until an
harmonic oscillation pattern arises.
7. Write down the adjusted value on the Kp
scale you have just adjusted as the criti-
cal proportional-action coefficient Kp,
crit.
PI and PID controllers:
Use a stopwatch to time the oscillation
time for one entire oscillation to find T
crit
.

Harmonic oscillation, settings
8. Multiply value for Kp, crit and value for
T
crit
(with PI/PID controller) with the val-
ues in the table (Fig. 4) and set them as
the favorable settings for Kp, Tn, and Tv
at the controller.
Should oscillations still occur despite these
settings, slightly reduce Kp and increase Tn.
Repeat these steps, if necessary, until the
control loop shows a satisfactory perfor-
mance.
Leave enough time in between settings to al-
low the controller to stabilize.
If the set point (reference variable) of the P or
PD controller is changed, readjust the oper-
ating point. When the reference variable is
often changed, adjust the operating point to
an average value (e.g. 50 %).
