3.6 Manual tuning
The optimization aid should be used with units on which the control parameters
shall be set without self-tuning.
For this, the response of process variable x after a step change of correcting va
-
riable y can be used. Frequently, plotting the complete response curve (0 to
100%) is not possible, because the process must be kept within defined limits.
Values T
g
and x
max
(step change from 0 to 100 %) or Dt and D x (partial step re

sponse) can be used to determine the maximum rate of increase v
