[@TimWilborne]

I've got to do a few more videos to shore up questions that came up on the setup then we'll start getting into the meat of the PID.

[@lewblabencol]

Thanks for this video, I have a question when you try Autotune with temperature process, what value you recomended for CV step size?

[@TimWilborne]

It is very dependent on your process. RA recommends starting with a small amount. I have an upcoming video where I talk about it more.

[@James-oj6lk]

Tim, thanks for this video! Hey I cannot get my compactlogix independentPIDE autotune to work on a live process, it keeps timing out. 🙁

[@TimWilborne]

It is usually because the step size or change limit is too small. What error are you getting?

[@Alain0775]

Thanks Tim

[@TimWilborne]

You are welcome!

waiting for integral part expaination....love from india

[@TimWilborne]

Thanks!

I'll try to test at the company which I work, however, I cant set 0 to output, I'll try to do it online and my process is not able to decrease so much temperature. So we have channels thats working around 1230°C, tha maximum value that I can decrease or increase is 15°C, do you believe that is possible to perform autotune this way ?

[@terryferguson8897]

Note: Studio 5000 V32 and up, PIDE Autotuning requires separate activation, is not included in pro version, nor standard.

[@TimWilborne]

Yes, I'm not sure why the separated it. There are some other auto tuners out there. Maybe I'll play with one of those sometime.

[@alfredrasmussen7636]

Hello, im having an exam in 2 days about the PIDE block with autotuning function. Can somebody list some pros and cons about using this type of regulator? Thanks :)

[@TanapongPonghanat]

Why I not have PIDE in library, I used studio 5000v32 with compactlogix l310er

[@TimWilborne]

The PIDE is available in Function Block Programming and Structured Text

[@sudhandiramanisundaram4909]

Hi Tim, How we can purchase VMware with SLC studio 5000 software ?

[@TimWilborne]

Not possible
