Auto tuning function
The auto tuning function is designed for the temperature control module to set the optimum PID constants
automatically. In auto tuning, the PID constants are calculated according to the hunting cycle and amplitude generated
by repeated overshoot and undershoot of the temperature process value (PV) toward the set value (SV).
(1) Auto tuning operation
The temperature control module operates as follows.
1
Starts auto tuning.
Collects data from the point when the temperature process value (PV) reaches the set value (SV) after the first overshoot and
2
undershoot.
3
After data collection, auto tuning ends when PID constants and loop disconnection detection judgment time are set.

(Temperature process value (PV))
