Automatic Tuning Menu
The automatic tune menu is used to engage pre-tune and/or self-tune to assist setting up
proportional bands and the integral and derivative time values used by the control loops.
Pre-tune can be used to set PID parameters approximately. Self-tune may then be used to
optimise the tuning if required. See the Tuning section on page 99 for more information.
Pre-tune can be set to run automatically after every power-up by enabling Auto Pre-Tune.

AUTOMATIC TUNING MENU SCREENS
Automatic Tuning
Mode Unlocking
Enter correct code number to access the Automatic Tuning Menu.
Factory Default value is 10.
Control loop 1 or 2
Select which control loop you want to tune
–
if unit has 2 control loops
.
Cascade Mode
To pre-tune a cascade slave, select open-cascade.
Note:
When slave tuning is completed, repeat choosing open-cascade
to tune the master.
Pre-Tune Method
From: Pre-Tune Standard or Pre-Tune at Value. Standard Pre-Tune tests
the process response half-way from the activation point to the setpoint.
Pre-Tune at Valve allows the user to specify where the test occurs.
Pre-Tune Value
Sets the value at which the process is tested for Pre-Tune at Valve.
Caution:
Consider possible over-shoot!
Pre-Tune Save
Location
Store the pre-tune result to one of 5 PID sets. The new PID terms can be
stored to any set, without changing
the “active set” from control
configuration.
Run Pre-Tune on Set
n
Now?
w
Turns pre-tune on/off for the chosen PID Set. If configured, the
TUNE
LED
indicator flashes whilst pre-tune is operating - *
see below.
Note:
Pre-tune is disabled in on-off control mode; if the PV is less than
5% of span from setpoint; during Profiles; if the setpoint is ramping or if
the selected control loop has been disabled.
Pre-Tune Status
Shows the current pre-tune status: Running or Stopped. If an attempt to
run pre-tune failed, the reason is shown.
