Set n – Integral The integral time value (Automatic Reset) for PID Set n (n = up to 5).
Adjustable from 1s to 99min 59s or OFF
– Only the set(s) in use shown.
Set n – Derivative The derivative time value (Rate) for PID Set n (n = up to 5). Adjustable
from 1s to 99 min 59s or OFF
– Only the set(s) in use are shown.
Set n
– Overlap
The overlap (+ve) or deadband (-ve) between primary & secondary
proportional bands for PID Set n (n = up to 5). In display units - limited to
20% of the combined primary & secondary prop band width.
Set n – On/Off Diff
The on-off control hysteresis (deadband) for PID Set n (n = up to 5).
Adjustable from 1 to 300 display units, centred about the setpoint
– Only
the set(s) in use are shown.
Set n - Breakpoint The SP or PV value where the PID Set n (n = up to 5) if gain scheduling is
used. Set 1 is used from Scaled Input Lower Limit to the Set 2 Breakpoint,
then Set 2 used to the Set 3 Breakpoint etc. If a breakpoint is set to OFF
subsequent PID sets are not used. The final PID set runs to the Scaled
Input Upper Limit.
Manual Reset (Bias) The Manual Reset value to bias the control working point within the
proportional band(s). Adjustable from 0 to 100% for single control or 100 to
+100% for dual control. Typically set to 80% of typical power needed for
setpoint, but lower values can help inhibit start-up overshoot.
Anti Wind-Up Limit Adjusts the value at which the “reset wind-up inhibit” is applied. Above this
power level further integral action is suspended. Adjustable from 10 to
100% of PID power. Lower values inhibit overshoot.
Caution: If set too low control deviation can occur (the process
settles, but is offset above or below the setpoint). It this is observed,
increase the value until the deviation error is removed.
Primary Cycle Time The primary power cycle time. Adjustable from 0.5 to 512 seconds. Applied
for time proportioned primary relay, SSR driver or triac control outputs
–
Not used for VMD Control modes.
Secondary Cycle
Time The secondary power cycle time when dual control is used. Adjustable
from 0.5 to 512 seconds. Applied for time proportioned primary relay, SSR
driver or triac control outputs
– Not used for VMD Control modes.
Primary Power Lower
Limit The minimum primary output power limit. The control algorithm will not
allow the power output fall below this level. Adjustable from 0 to 90% but is
always at least 10% below the primary power upper limit.
Caution: The instrument will not be able to control the process
correctly if the lower limit is above the level required to maintain
setpoint.
Primary Power Upper
Limit The maximum primary output power limit. The control algorithm will not
allow the power output rise above this level. Adjustable from 10 to 100%
but is always at least 10% above the primary power lower limit.
Caution: The instrument will not be able to control the process
correctly if the upper limit is below the level required to maintain
setpoint.
Secondary Power
Lower Limit The minimum secondary output power limit. The control algorithm will not
allow the power output fall below this level. Adjustable from 0 to 90% but is
always at least 10% below the secondary power upper limit.
Caution: The instrument will not be able to control the process
correctly if the lower limit is above the level required to maintain
setpoint.
Secondary Power
Upper Limit The maximum secondary output power limit. The control algorithm will not
allow the power output rise above this level. Adjustable from 10 to 100%
but is always at least 10% above the secondary power lower limit.
Caution: The instrument will not be able to control the process
correctly if the upper limit is below the level required to maintain
setpoint.
Sensor Break Pre-set Set the power level to be applied if the process input signal or an active
