Auto Tuning the Controller

Factory settings are provided for general purposes, but your
process can be enhanced through the auto tune feature. For a
given process temperature and product load, auto tuning
maximizes the performance of the chamber by operating with the
quickest response and minimal temperature overshoot.

To auto tune the controller.

Load the chamber with materials that have the same mass
and thermal characteristics as a typical product load.

2.

Operate the chamber to the process temperature.

3.

Press and hold

SETlENT

for 3 seconds to display the A1

parameter of the Operating Parameter menu.

4.

Press and release

SETIENT

to show the At parameter.

5.

Press and release the arrow buttons to show on in the lower
display.

6.

Press

SETIENT

once to enter the auto tune mode and exit the

Operating Parameters menu.

The controller will cycle three times through a heating and
cooling pattern, measuring the characteristics of the load and
chamber temperature controls. During the auto tuning, At will
alternately flash with the measured temperature

(PV)

to indicate

that the auto tuning is in progress. The length of time for the auto

tune varies with the load, chamber size and temperature selected.

The auto tune is completed when the regular display of the

measured temperature is shown. The chamber should now

operate to the process temperature with the given product load,

with the quickest response and minimal temperature overshoot.

If the process temperature or load changes significantly, another
auto tune session may be necessary to optimize the chamber
performance.

Press and HOLD the 'SETENT' button for 3 seconds to exit
the program menu and return to the reset or standby display.

Auto tuning maximizes the performance of the chamber at a
selected temperature with the product load's characteristics, by
operating with the quickest response and minimal temperature
overshoot.

Factory settings are for general purposes, but your process can be
enhanced through the auto tune feature. To obtain this maximum
performance, follow these steps to auto tune the controller.

1. Load the chamber with materials that have the same mass
and thermal characteristics as an actual product load.

2.

Operate the chamber to the process temperature.

3.

Start the Auto Tune: Press and hold the 'SETtENT' button
for three seconds to display the

"modE" parameter of the

Operating Parameter menu.

4.

Press and release the 'SETENT' button five times to
advance to the

"At"

parameter.

5.

Press and release the

'UP'

arrow button to show "on" in the

lower display.

6.

Press the 'SETtENT' button once to enter the auto tune mode
and exit the Operating Parameters menu.

7.

The controller will cycle three times through a heating and

cooling pattern, measuring the characteristics of the load and
chamber temperature controls. During the auto tuning, 'At'
will alternately flash with the measured temperature (PV)
display to indicate that the auto tuning is in progress. The

length of time for the auto tune varies with the load, chamber
size and temperature selected.

8.

The auto tune is completed when the regular display of the

measured temperature is shown without the

"At"

value

flashing. The chamber should now operate to the process

temperature with the given product load, with the quickest

response and minimal temperature overshoot.

9.

If the process temperature or load changes significantly,
another auto tune session may be necessary to optimize the
chamber performance.

To

interrupt the auto tune before it is completed, simply turn off

the power to the controller and unit. When the power is restored
the auto tune will not be operating.

6.5

Temperature Offset Procedure

The purpose of this procedure is to create an offset in the

displayed temperature measurement for the Yokogawa model
UP150 temperature controller.

1. Operate the oven chamber to your normal stable temperature
setpoint, with an independent temperature measurement
device located in the center of the chamber. The controller
will be 'running' the program or operating in the local mode
to maintain the temperature.

2. Note any difference in the controller's measured temperature
(upper value) and the independent measurement. If a
difference of greater than 1°C is noted proceed with the
following steps.

3. Press and hold the

"

SETENT" button for 3 seconds to

display

"modE".

4. Verify the button lockout parameter will give access to make
this display offset. Press and release the

"

SETENT" button

twelve times to display

"LoC". The value 0 (zero) displayed

will give full access and is necessary to make the display
offset changes desired. If the value displayed is 1 or 2, use
the

"

down arrow" button to make 0 (zero) and press and

release the

"

SETENT" button to register this change.

5. Press and release the

"

SETENT" button twelve times to

display

"bS" and the current offset value.

6. Select the offset value with the arrow buttons that is needed
to make this controller display correctly.
For example, if the independent measurement is

253"C, the

controller Temperature measurement display shows

250°C,

and the current controller offset (bS) is -2, then make the
controller display offset

"+I"

[(+3 needed offset) + (-2 current offset) = (+1 new offset)].

7.

Press and release the "SETENT" button once to register this
new offset value. Press and hold the

"

SETENT" button for 3

seconds to exit this controller menu.

8. Operate the controller to the same temperature to stabilize the
chamber to check for any further variations between the
controller and the independent measurement. Repeat steps
2

-

7

as necessary.

9.

This completes the display offset procedure for the
Yokogawa model UP150 temperature controller. If the button
lockout parameter

"LOP was originally on a value of 1 or 2,

repeat steps 3

&

4 to return to this original value.
