nanodac RECORDER/CONTROLLER: USER GUIDEB2.4.5 AUTOTUNE (Cont.)AT.R2GSome load types and process conditions can cause autotune to set an incorrect value for R2G resulting in aninstability in the system after an autotune has completed, In such circumstances, the value of R2G should bechecked, and if it is low (approaching 0.1) a manual entry should be made as follows:1. In the Tune menu, set the AT.R2G parameter to ‘No’.2. In the PID menu, enter the new R2G value (calculated as described below)3. In the Tune menu, enter a value for Low Output, calculated from: Low Output = -High Output x R2G4. In the Tune menu, set ‘TuneEn’ On.R2G CALCULATION1. In the Main menu, set the controller to Manual mode2. Turn heating on (limited by the value of ‘Output High’ in the Output menu) and measure the heatingrate (‘H’ °C/minute).3. Allow the process to heat to, say, 10% above the setpoint value then turn the heating off and allow thetemperature to settle.4. Turn cooling power on (limited by the value of ‘Output Low’ in the Output menu) and measure thecooling rate (‘C’ °C/minute) whilst allowing the temperature to fall below the setpoint value.5. Calculate the value of R2G from the equation R2G = (H/C) x (Output Low/output High)Example:For a measured heating rate (H) of 10°C per min and a measured cooling rate (C) of 25° per minute and with,Output High = 80% and Output Low = 40%, then R2G = (10/25) x (40/80) = 0.4 x 0.5 = 0.2.Output HiΔCTemp---------------------- = CoolingRateΔCtimeOP PowerHeating onΔHtimeΔHTempOutput LoΔHTemp----------------------- = HeatingRateΔHtimeΔCTempΔCtimeCooling onPVSPTemperatureTimeFigure 2.4.5d R2G calculationNote: This is not a very accurate method as it does not take natural cooling into account. Its mainadvantage is that it is simple to achieve.Appendix BPage 312HA030554Issue 7 Nov 12
