setting and alarm
Omron's "J" series controllers use fuzzy
adaptive tuning to continuously monitor
and optimize PID constants while the
controller operates. Three tuning
algorithms are used to recalculate the
PID constants within 500 ms
after
the
process value stabilizes at set point:
• Step-response method
• Disturbance tuning
• Hunting tuning.
Step-Response Method
This tuning method takes place on start-
up and after an upward set point change
heating applications or a downward set
point change in a cooling application.
Step-response tuning changes mainly
impact the proportional band.
Disturbance Tuning
This tuning method takes place when the
temperature exceeds the stable range
between one and three times before
settling back to set point. Changes in
tuning are mainly made to the derivative
(rate) time.
Hunting Tuning
This tuning method takes place when the
temperature exeeds the stable range four
or more times before settling back to set
point. Changes in tuning are mainly
made to the integral (reset) time.
■ GET THE ADVANTAGE OF ADAPTIVE TUNING USING THREE ALGORITHMS
Comparison of E5❑J and E5❑X
Tuning Methods
Omron's "X" series controllers attempt to
optimize the PID constants by using a
limit cycle auto-tune. Although effective in
most applications, this method has some
drawbacks. For example, the auto-tuning
must induce an upset into the process in
order to make the process oscillate four
times. In many processes these types of
artificial upsets are not desirable.
Adaptive tuning controllers do not induce
an upset; instead, they use information
from the actual process, eliminating
unnecessary oscillations and enabling
quicker start-up time.
Another drawback of the limit cycle auto-
tune method is that PID constants will
only be effective so long as the same
basic conditions that were present when
the auto-tune took place remain constant.
Various factors such as a load change,
heater performance degradation or set
point changes can cause the auto-tuned
values to be less than optimum. The new
adaptive tuning method, however, is
continually monitoring the process and will
automatically adjust the PID constants
whe nprocess parameters (i.e., heater
degradation, load change, etc.) vary.
