• When P (proportional band) is adjusted
• When I (integral time) is adjusted
• When D (derivative time) is adjusted
3-9 Alarm Outputs
• Alarm output conditions are determined by a combination of the “alarm
type”, “alarm value” and “alarm hysteresis” parameters. For details, refer
to 4-2 Alarm Hysteresis.
• The following describes the “alarm type”, “alarm value”, “upper-limit
alarm” and “lower-limit alarm” parameters.
When P is increased The curve rises gradually, and
a long stable time is achieved,
preventing overshoot.
When P is
decreased
Overshoot and hunting occur,
however the set point is
quickly reached after which
the curve stabilizes.
When I is increased It takes a long time for the pro-
cess value to reach the set
point. It takes time to achieve
a stable state, however there
is little overshoot/undershoot
and hunting.
When I is decreased Overshoot/undershoot and
hunting occur, and the curve
rises quickly.
When D is increased Overshoot/undershoot and
stable time are reduced, how-
ever, fine hunting occurs on
changes in the curve itself.
When D is
decreased
Overshoot/undershoot
increase, and it takes time for
the process value to reach the
set point.
