3.5 Self-tuning
For determination of optimum process parameters, self-tuning is possible.
After starting by the operator, the controller makes an adaptation attempt,
whereby the process characteristics are used to calculate the parameters for fast
line-out to the set-point without overshoot.
The following parameters are optimized when self-tuning:
Parameter set 1:
Pb1 - Proportional band 1 (heating) in engineering units [e.g. °C]
ti1 - Integral time 1 (heating) in [s]
r only, unless set to OFF
td1 - Derivative time 1 (heating) in [s]
r only, unless set to OFF
t1 - Minimum cycle time 1 (heating) in [s]
r only, unless Adt0 was set to “no self-tuning” during
configuration by means of 8800/8840 configurator ® .
Pb2 - Proportional band 2 (cooling) in engineering units [e.g. °C]
ti2 - Integral time 2 (cooling) in [s]
r only, unless set to OFF
td2 - Derivative time 2 (cooling) in [s]
r only, unless set to OFF
t2 - Minimum cycle time 2 (cooling) in [s]
r only, unless Adt0 was set to “no self-tuning” during
configuration by means of 8800/8840 configurator ® .
Parameter set 2: analogous to parameter set 1 (see page25)
