Autotuning of the Top Control Continuous
With the
sub-menu, you start a program that performs an automatic parametring of the Top Control Continuous.
The following parameters are automatically calculated:
•
Matching the sensor signal to the (physical) stroke of the control valve
•
Determining the parameters of PWM signals controlling the internal solenoid valves
•
Optimum adjustment of the control parameters of the position controller (target function: quickest possible movement to
set the position without hunting)
To start the autotune function, call the
key for 5 seconds.

The basic configuration of the Top Control is pre-set by the factory. On commissioning, however, execution of
Advice:
"Autotune" is absolutely necessary. The Top Control then determines autonomously the optimum settings for
the current operating conditions.
ATTENTION!
Avoid incorrect adaptation of the controller by executing an Autotune in each case at the supply pressure
available in later operation (= pneumatic auxiliary energy).
If substantial interfering forces are to be expected from the flow through the valve (e.g. from large
pressure fluctuations), Autotune should be executed without medium pressure.
