INTELLITUNE
®
SETTINGS
IntelliTune Mode:
Choose
IntelliTune Mode
. The TC LAB
instrument will characterize the best PID parameters for your
load based on this setting once the
IntelliTune Start
button is
pressed if not in Manual Tune mode.
• Manual Tune
- IntelliTune will not run.
• Setpoint Response
- Drives the load to temperature
fastest.
• Disturbance Rejection
- Minimizes overshoot.
See the
for more information.
Valid IntelliTune Active:
This LED becomes lit when valid
IntelliTune data is stored for the currently selected sensor.
IntelliTune Start:
Start an IntelliTune cycle based on the
selection on the
IntelliTune Mode
control. The button will
remain lit until the scan is complete. Clicking the button again
after starting IntelliTune will not stop the cycle. The
IntelliTune
Abort
button must be used to stop a cycle in progress. If
IntelliTune does not complete properly, call customer support
for assistance.
IntelliTune Abort:
Stop an IntelliTune cycle in progress.
Manual Update PID:
Pushing this button will update the PID
coefficients to those configured in the controls below.
Actual PID:
Monitors the actual proportional, integrator,
and derivative terms. These terms will automatically update
if IntelliTune mode is changed between Setpoint Response
and Disturbance Rejection modes if a valid IntelliTune scan
is active.
Edit PID:
These controls set the proportional, integrator, and
derivative terms for Manual Tuning. P, I, and D will be set to
the present control parameters when the
Manual Update PID
button is pressed.
