Setting range: 
 
0.1 ... 99.9
Proportional range >Xp<
The proportional range is the range below the setpoint in which the 
control circuit reduces the heating capacity from 100% to 0 % 
 
Setting range: 
 3 
...9999
Reset time >Tn< (Integral component)
Compensation of the remaining control deviation due to proportional 
regulation. An insufficient reset time may cause instabilities. Excessive 
reset times will result in unnecessary prolongation of compensation of 
the control difference. 
 
Setting range: 
 
0 ... 999
Lead time >Tv< (Differential component)
The differential component reduces the transient time. An insufficient 
lead time will prolong the time required for compensation of disturbance 
effects and cause high overshooting during run-up. An excessive lead 
time could cause instabilities (oscillations) 
 
Optimization instructions for the PID control parameters
Optimum setting
Control parameters XP-, TN-, TV- INTERNAL as 
well as 
 -EXTERNAL 
 
The heat-up curve reveals possible faulty 
settings of the control parameter. 
 
Inappropriate settings may produce the following heat-up curves:
Xp too low
Tv/Tn too low
Xp too high or Tv too high
Tv/Tn too high or Xp too high
