1 - upon successful completion of the EASY-TUNE sequence,
new tuning parameters will be entered.
0 - new tuning parameters will not be entered but available for review. 0

5 B385 Control Module Selector (CON-0 = 0, CON-1 = 1, CON-2 = 2, CON-3 =
3) 0
6 B386 PID Control Mode
1 - P, 2 - PI, 3 - PID, 4 - PD, 5 - I
If the ratio of Process Dead Time (Wp) and Process Time Constant (Tp)
is greater than 0.5, then this datapoint should be set to 3 for PID Control
Mode. 0
7 C378 Excursion Limit for Preliminary Step Disturbance (%)
The step size chosen for C381 will cause a PV change which depends
on the process gain as well as C381 itself. C378 should be set to
approximately 1/4 of that expected change. (See C381 below.) 2
8 C379 Limiting Settling Time (seconds)
Set to maximum time allowed during B387 = 1 or 2. (See Table 17-3
and Figure 17-1.) 0
9 C380 Maximum Allowable Excursion of PV in EASY-TUNE (%)
Setting C380 will prevent excessive change in PV. 0
10 C381 Step Size Change in Controller Output (
±
%)
Set large enough to cause significant but allowable PV changes.
