[ATR142] Control heating process in PID with SSR output

[user497]

Hello,

so, i made a test:

Pb=12
TI=600
Td=150
Tune: disabled

But the same problem.
In data, temperature are little bit higher, because it is closer to heater.
But the same problem with overheat!!!
The red dot line is alarm temperature : + 38C ( + 37,5 + 0,5 C ).



P.S.
We use ATR121-B

Ok, so set:

Pb: 15
Ti: 800
Td: 200
rEg: H.o.o.

[user497]

Here it is!
Not 2 hours, because it was already working day evening, but still overshoot is to big, over 40C.
Is there some more options to do?

[Pixsys tecnico 1]

With ATR121 we are so limitating in PID parameters so try:

Pb: 20
Ti: 999
Td: 500
rEg: H.o.o.

The first overshoot there will still be, but after that it would be more stable.

Hello, thank You, i will try this on next working day.

But is it possible to do with ATR142?
I can still change it, because in this case it is more important to disable that overshoot!

Thank You.

With ATR142 we can use softstart to avoid overshoot when reaching the sepoint

Hello,
so i tested it and now it is better, but still just little bit to high (max was ~ 38C, Setpoint: 37.0) (The red dot line is alarm line( 38C) - in attachment)
we need just a little bit less : max 37,5.
Can i try to change something more: bigger td ????

For information:
And in ATR142 case i need to change output power limit? or other parameter?

[Pixsys tecnico 1]

With ATR142 you will use 51 [GrAd] parameter to reach the setpoint slowly.

Now, with ATR121 you can try to increase Pb to 25 and Td to 600.

Hello, so i changed controller to ATR142-ABC
Reg = Ho.o
Pb = 25
Ti = 999.9
Td = 600
tc = 1.0
tune = disabled
oPNo = PrcY
Grad: 10.0

Now its almost good, but still as You can see in graph, it is with bigger overshoot as it must be!
Setpoint: 37C ( +- 0,5C ) , but here max is 38C!
Is there some other parameter, which we can change?

[Pixsys tecnico 1]

Try limit the output power to 80% with parameter P22 [o.Po.L] as "80".

You have to leave [oPNo] = "cont" if you use only [Grad] parameter (we are not using pre-programmed cycle but only a fixed gradient to reach the setpoint).
