Synchronized tuning
Set
on parameter 73
sYNch.
This procedure has been conceived to calculate correct PID values on multi-zone systems, where each
temperature is influenced by the adjacent zones.
Writing on word modbus 1216 (for regulation loop 1) or 1217 (for regulation loop 2) the controller
works as follows:
Word value
Action
0
Tune off
1
Command output OFF
2
Command output ON
3
Tune active
4
Tune completed: command output OFF (read only)
5
Tune not available: softstart function enabled (only reading)
Here below the functioning for regulation loop 1: the master switches-off or turns-on all zones (value
1 or 2 on word 1216) for a time long enough to create inertia on the system.
At this point the autotuning is launched (value 3 on word 1216). The controller executes the procedure
for the calculation of the new PID values. When the procedure ends, the controller switches off the
command output and selects the value 4 on word 1216. The master, who will always read the word
1216, will control the various zones and when all will have finished, will bring to 0 the value of word
1216: the various devices will regulate the temperature independently, with the new calculated values.
The master must read the word 1216 at least every 10 seconds or the controller will automatically
exit the autotuning procedure.
