7.2 Automatic Tune Mode

Automatic Tune Mode is selected when it is desired to use the

Pre-tune

and

Self-tune

facilities on a

controller to assist the user in setting up Proportional band, Integral and Derivative parameter
values. Refer to the following

Automatic Tune Mode

table.

Pre-tune can be used to set Controller

PID

parameters approximately.

Self-tune

may then be used

to optimise the tuning.

Pre-tune

can be set to run automatically after every power-up using the Auto

Pre-Tune

APt

parameter in Setup Mode.

The AT indicator will flash while pre-tune is operating, and is continuously on while Self-
tune is operating. If both Pre-tune and Self-tune are engaged the AT indicator will flash until Pre-
tune is finished, and is then continuously on.

Navigating in Automatic Tune Mode

Press to select the next parameter in the table and or to set the value required.

Hold down and press to return to Select Mode.

Note:
If there is no key activity for 2 minutes the controller automatically returns to operator mode
