PI REGULATION ADJUSTMENT

The regulation loops have two adjustable factors: P-factor and I-factor
(except angle regulation loop, which has P-factor only). The P-factor (gain)
influences the stability and overshoot of the regulation loop and the I-factor
influences the steady-state error as well as the settling time. See the picture
below for typical responses of a PI regulation loop.

TYPICAL RESPONSES OF A PI REGULATOR.

For manual tunning of a control loop use following method:

1. Set both the I-factor and P-factor to 0.


2. Increase the P-factor slightly until the system starts to oscillate.
3. Adjust the P-factor back to approx. one half of the value where the
oscillations started.
4. Increase the I-factor slightly to achieve optimal resulting response.

NOTE:
It may be helpful to disable issuing the GCB close command when
adjusting synchronization loops. Adjust the setpoint Phase window to 0 to
disable it. Adjust the setpoint back to it's original value after the adjustment
is finished.
