Parameter 5610 P-gain voltage controller 1 to 240

Volt. controller
Gain Kp 000
The proportional-action coefficient KPR indicates the closed-loop control system
gain. By increasing the gain, the response is increased to permit larger corrections to
X & XN Packages: the variable to be controlled. The farther out of tolerance the process is the larger the

response action is to return the process to the tolerance band. If the gain is config-
ured too high, the result is excessive overshoot/undershoot of the desired value (refer
to "Analog Controller Outputs" on page 28).

Parameter 5611 Voltage controller reset time 0.0 to 60.0 s

Volt. controller
Reset Tn 00.0s
The reset time Tn represents the Integral component of the PID controller. The reset
time corrects for any offset (between set point and process variable) automatically

requirements until the process variable and the set point are the same. This parame-
ter permits the user to adjust how quickly the reset attempts to correct for any offset.
The reset time constant must be greater than the derivative time constant. If the reset
time constant is too small, the engine will continually oscillate. If the reset time con-
stant is too large, the engine will take to long to settle at a steady state. The integral
is disabled when Tn=0.00 s is configured here (refer to "Analog Controller Outputs"
on page 28).

Parameter 5612 Derivative-action time voltage controller 0.00 to 6.00 s

Volt. controller
Derivat.Tv=0.00s
X & XN Packages:
only with 'ANALOG' setting
The derivative-action time TV represents the Derivative component of the PID con-
troller. By increasing this parameter, the stability of the system is increased. The
controller will attempt to slow down the action of the throttle in an attempt to pre-
vent excessive overshoot or undershoot. Essentially this is the brake for the process.
This portion of the PID loop operates anywhere within the range of the process un-
like reset. The derivative is disabled when TV=0.00 s is configured here (refer to
"Analog Controller Outputs" on page 28).).
