Guidelines for setting of PI controller
For most applications, the factory setting of the controller
constants, gain and integral time, ensures optimum pump
operation. However, in some applications an adjustment of the
controller may be required.
You find the setpoint displayed in figures 58 and 59. For further
information about setup, see the "Assist" menu in section
9.7.1 "Assisted pump setup".

Proceed as follows:
1. Increase the gain until the motor becomes unstable. Instability
can be seen by observing if the measured value starts to
fluctuate. Furthermore, instability is audible as the motor
starts hunting up and down.
Some systems, such as temperature controls, are
slow-reacting, meaning that it may be several minutes before
the motor becomes unstable.
2. Set the gain to half the value of the value which made the
motor unstable.
3. Reduce the integral time until the motor becomes unstable.
4. Set the integral time to twice the value which made the motor
unstable.
Rules of thumb
If the controller is too slow-reacting, increase the gain.
If the controller is hunting or unstable, dampen the system by
reducing the gain or increasing the integral time.
Change the control settings by means of the display or Grundfos
GO. You can set both positive and negative values.
