[factory setting]
MINUTES PER REPEAT or REPEATS PER MINUTE—
Use this parameter to choose whether you want to specify
the integral term (reset) in the PIDA algorithm in terms of
length (minutes per repeat) or frequency (repeats per
minute). Your choice here affects which tuning prompt, “I
MIN” or “I RPM”, is displayed.
The relationship between the two ways of thinking about
reset is demonstrated by this example:
20 repeats per minute = 0.05 minutes per repeat.
This parameter is displayed only if the “CTRALG” (control
algorithm) is set to “PIDA”.
ATTENTION
If the setting of MINRPM is changed,
you must change the value of the associated tuning
parameter (“I MIN” or “I RPM”) if you want to maintain the
same control action. For example, suppose MINRPM = I
RPM and the value of tuning parameter “I RPM” = 2. If
you change MINRPM to I MIN, the value of “I MIN” will
now be 2 (the value formerly assigned to “I RPM”). If you
want the same control action you had before, you must
change the value of “I MIN” to 0.5.
