3.6 Manual self-tuning
The optimization aid should be used with units on which the control parameters
shall be set without self-tuning.
For this, the response of process variable x after a step change of correcting vari-
able y can be used. Frequently, plotting the complete response curve (0 to 100%)
is not possible, because the process must be kept within defined limits. Values T
g
and x
max
(step change from 0 to 100 %) or
Dt and Dx (partial step response) can
be used to determine the maximum rate of increase v
max
.
The control parameters can be determined from the values calculated for delay
time T
u
, maximum rate of increase v
max
, control range X
h
and characteristic K ac-
cording to the formulas given below. Increase Xp, if line-out to the set-point os-
cillates.
