Autotuning

If a tune error condition occurs, the upper display will toggle

between

and a numeric error code for three seconds before

the tune process terminates. The controller will then automatically

go into Standby mode when a tuning error occurs. Possible error

codes are:

02 = No PID Device Configured

03 = Incorrect Output Action

05 = Insufficient Setpoint-Process Value Deviation

08 = Invalid Tune Results

09 = Tune Timeout

Note: Keep in mind that the setpoint value must be at least 1%

of span above or below the initial setpoint, and that the process

value must be stable prior to initiating the tune.
