Proportional Bandwidth
A. Proportional Bandwidth is the inverse of gain.
Increased Bandwidth = Decreased Gain
B. Increase the Proportional Bandwidth if:
1. The process overshoots excessively
2. The process oscillates excessively
C. Decrease the Proportional Bandwidth if:
1. The process responds slowly
2. The process fails to reach setpoint
4. Rate Adjustment
A. Rate can cause process instability. Typically add Rate as
1/10 th of the automatic reset value.
B. Decrease Rate if:
1. The process overshoots/undershoots
2. If the process oscillates excessively
5. Manual Reset
A. After making all other adjustments, use if an offset exists
between the setpoint and the process variable.
B. If the process is:
1. Below setpoint use a positive Manual Reset value
2. Above the setpoint use a negative Manual Reset value
