Hello, perhaps you have to invert the controlling direction. The PID_3Step is especially for values. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/62154322 |

Hello, I have also some points to share: 1-Wenn you only have P section in your PID,There is possibility of jumps in output plus steady state error. Integration part make the response on valve smooth and ensure somehow error near zero. To see why you do not proper action on valve,you should be sure of your electrical connection and monitoring error signal (SP-PV) or (PV-SP). 2- Link mentioned by FreakOnALeash is suitable for On-OFF actuators.For analog output on positioner and your requirement you should use comparators to limit output signal. These are all I can share for now! Best regards Hamid Hosseini |

Hello, the "PID_3step" has also the "Output_PER" to control analog valves. |

Hello FreakOnALeash In the manual I do not see many explications about that analog Output_PER. The 2 digital outputs brings the valve to closed or opening. But by the analog output and wenn the PV=SP,is the Output_PER than 50% and goes down to 0% with a digital Output_DN and goes up to 100% wenn digital Output_UP ? Best wishes |

In case you are using PID_Compact, the strange behaviour could be explained with excessive proportional gain. Deactivate I, deactivate D, useonly P part of regulator and lower the Kp. Theregulator shall respondas an error amplifier out=(SP-PV)*Kp. Note that you will always have a steady state error when using P only. |
