1.2.3 Calculated Parameters

Following the process identification, the self-tuning function calculates the controller parameters
sampling time (T ), controller gain (K
A
and lower control zone (ZONOB, ZONUN) and with 3-step controller, the heating-cooling ratio
(HCR) or a separate parameter set for cooling.
In 3-step controllers, the self-tuning function calculates the lower limit of the control zone while
heating and the upper zone limit while cooling. The zones can therefore be asymmetrical. In 2-step
controllers, the upper limit is set to match the lower limit and the control zones are therefore
symmetrical. After they have been calculated, the parameters are entered in messages.
