If you have configured your unit for a Heating Valve this
screen will appear. The PID control positions the hot water
valve based on how far the supply air is from setpoint and the
current position of the valve. It looks at the position of the
valve at timed intervals, this interval is set by the PID
Calculation Rate.

If you have configured your unit for a Heating Valve this
screen will appear. The Kp Constant is “proportional”
constant which means how many degrees from setpoint will
make the valve open 100%. For example if the Kp is set for
10 then a 10
° temperature drop below setpoint, would cause
the hot water valve to go 100% open. Ki Constant is the
“integral” constant which prevents the valve from stopping at
a point where the proportional error is not changing. The
amount of effect the Integral can have is limited by the Ki
constant. Kd Constant is the “derivative” constant. This is
used to track the rate of change in temperature error from
setpoint. If the last change was small, the derivative would
have very little effect since the (error – old error) subtraction
would be a small value. If the last error was large, indicating
the temperature was rapidly moving toward or away from the
setpoint, the valve position would make a large adjustment.
