• When variable parameter 2 P 1 D setting is 1 (2
degrees of freedom PID enabled), the parameter ( P , 1 ,
D ) ideal for control when SP changes and the param-
eter ( D P , D 1 , D D ) ideal for inhibiting disturbance
during settling are automatically switched.
• Decreasing the proportional band ( P , D P ) value
improves controllability. However, it also makes
overshoot or hunting more likely to occur.
Use of the controller on a motor or actuator shortens
the controller’s life. Do not set the proportional band
( P , D P ) to too small a value.
• Decreasing the reset time ( 1 , D 1 ) improves trackability.
However, it also makes cycling caused by integrating
action more likely to occur.
When 1 setting is 0, integrating operation for inhibiting
disturbance also functions.
• Increasing the rate time ( D , D D ) allows overshoot to
be inhibited more easily. However, it also make
hunting more likely to occur as the controller reacts to
minute changes in PV.
In a temperature control system, setting the rate time
to 1 /
3
to 1 /
4
of the integrating time is generally consid-
ered to be appropriate. In a pressure or flow rate
control system, derivative action causes hunting.
Either set the D setting to 0.0 to disable derivative
action, or decrease the setting so that derivative action
is almost negligible. The latter solution is more
frequently adopted.
• The MV upper and lower limits ( O L , O H ) function as
integrating limits. When the MV reaches the upper or
lower limit, integration no longer functions. This
prevents reset wind-up that occurs when the PV has
not risen for a long time.
• Manual reset ( R E ) is a setting for eliminating offset
that occurs during proportional action (integrated
action disabled). For manual reset, set the MV ideal for
deviation 0.
• Increasing the brake ( B R ) value increases the
overshoot inhibit effect. However, it also lengthens the
rise time.
