The commissioning window helps you commission the PID controller. You can monitor the values for the setpoint, process value and output value along the time axis in the trend view. The following functions are supported in the commissioning window:
-
Controller pretuning
-
Controller fine tuning
Use fine tuning for fine adjustments to the PID parameters.
-
Monitoring the current closed-loop control in the trend view
-
Testing the controlled system by specifying a manual output value
All functions require an online connection to the CPU to have been established.
