nanodac RECORDER/CONTROLLER: USER GUIDEB2.4.5 AUTOTUNE (Cont.)EXAMPLE 1: AUTOTUNE FROM BELOW SP (HEAT/COOL)The point at which Automatic tuning is performed (Tune Control Point) lies just below the setpoint at whichthe process is normally expected to operate (Target Setpoint). This ensures that the process is not significantlyoverheated or overcooled. The Tune Control Point is calculated as follows:-Tune Control Point = Initial PV + 0.75(Target Setpoint – Initial PV).The Initial PV is the PV measured after a 1 minute settling period (point ‘B’ in the figure below).Examples:If Target Setpoint = 500°C and Initial PV = 20°C, then the Tune Control Point is 380°C.If Target Setpoint = 500°C and Initial PV = 400°C, then the Tune Control Point is 475°C.This is because the overshoot is likely to be less as the process temperature approaches the target setpoint.Figure B2.4.5a shows the auto tune sequence.Target SPTrue control point1stovershootPeak topeakIt is not guaranteed thatPV will not exceed SPPVHysteresisHigh outputZero outputLow outputOPB - A = 1 minuteKEYAA to BB to DB to FFGHFigure B2.4.5a Autotune heat/cool processStart of AutotuneHeating and Cooling off for one minute allows steady state conditions to be established.First heat/cool cycle to establish first overshoot. Cutback low (CBL) value calculatedfrom the overshoot magnitude (unless CBL set to ‘Auto’).Two cycles of oscillation allow peak-to-peak value and oscillation period to be determined.PID terms are calculated.Heating is switched on.Heating (and cooling) are switched off allowing the plant to respond naturally. Measurementsover the period F to G are used to calculate the Relative Cool Gain (R2G). CutbackHigh is calculated from the equation (CBH = CBL × R2G).Autotune is turned off and the process is allowed to control at the target setpoint usingthe new control terms.Note: Autotuning from above SP is identical except that heating and cooling are reversed.HA030554Issue 7 Nov 12Appendix BPage 309
