19.5 TUNING THE PID CONTROL
Once the PID control is set up correctly, it needs to be tuned in order to maintain the process set point.
First,settheIntegralandDifferentialGainsto zero,andincrease theProportionalGain(Parameter77)
untilthesystembecomesunstable,thenlowerthegainuntilthesystemstabilizesagain.SettheProportional
Gainabout15%lessthanthatvaluethatstabilizesthesystem.IfonlyProportionalGainisused,andthe
systemisoperatinginasteady-statecondition(setpointisfixedandprocessvariablehassettledtoafixed
value),therewillalwaysbeacertainamountoferrorinthesystem.Thisiscalledthesteady-stateerror.
IntegralGain(Parameter78)isusedtoforcethesteady-stateerrortozerobyincreasingtheoutputspeed
commandwithrespecttotime.Overtime,theerrorwillbeforcedtozerobecausetheIntegraltermwill
continue to change the speed command, even after the Proportional term reaches steady state and no longer
affects the speed command. The Integral Gain affects the rate of rise of the output speed command from
the Integral term. Small amounts of Integral Gain can cause large changes in PID performance, so care must

step changes in error occur.
Typically, Proportional and Integral Gain are all that is needed to fine-tune the system. However, it may

The other parameter setting that affects the response of the PID control is Parameter 80 - PID ACC. This
setstheacceleration(anddeceleration)rateofthesetpointreferenceintothePIDunit.Whenthesetpoint
changes,thisfunctionwill“filter”theinputtothePIDunitbyrampingthesetpointreferencefromthe
previous value to the new value. This will help prevent overshoots that can occur when the PID control
attempts to respond to step changes in set point, resulting in smoother operation. If PID ACC is set to 0.0
seconds, it is effectively disabled.
