7.7 Tune Loop

This option lets you tune (change) various loop parameters online. These tunable parameters depend on the
loop type in use and are described in Section 4.8, Program Control Loops. Also, the following menu
choices are available.
Prompt
LOOP TYPE STD, ADV, SPLIT, ON OFF,
CAS P, CAS S, RATIO,
DIAT
PV Number
OUTPUT -100 to +100
SETPOINT SOURCE SP1 or SP2
Bold items are read-only
TOGGLE SETPOINT SP1, SP2
SOURCE
SETPOINT #1 Number
SETPOINT #2 Number or parameter
PROP. BAND #1
GAIN #1 Enter a value of 0.1 to 200
for Gain, or 0.5 to 1000.0 for
Proportional Band. Enter
OFF to allow integral only
control.
(Variable Gain1 or PB1 is
available by programming a
constant's Destination with
GN or PB. See Program
Constants, Section 4.16.)

Value of PV
Loop output %.
Indicates which setpoint is being used by the loop. SP1 must
be a number; SP2 may be a number or a value from a
function block (remote setpoint).
Press Enter to change the Setpoint Source from SP1 to SP2
or vice versa.
Enter the new value of SP1.
Enter the new value of SP2. If SP2 is a remote setpoint you
cannot change the value here.
See Gain #1.
Gain is the proportional gain entry for the control loop (The
value entered here is the gain applied to the error signal to
determine the loop output. For example, a 10% change in
process variable (with respect to the input range) from a
balanced condition will result in a 10% change in output,
when a gain of 1.0 is used. Enter a starting value at initial
configuration. The value may be altered Online for final loop
tuning. If an indirect source is specified as in an adaptive
gain configuration, the value can only be altered at the
source.
Gain and Proportional Band are interchangeable values
(Proportional Band = 100/Gain). For loops with dual tuning,
Gain 1 is the gain for the first set of tuning parameters. Gain
2 is for the second set.
