Resolution
For AutoTunerPID Wizard keep in mind that it is different than PID or often referred to as BPID. There are 3 types of PIDs
- bPID (normal PID)
- Simple PID (which was used for less memory available in controllers and had 9 Arguments)
- AutoTunerPID (designed to be run once on a system to ascertain the required values of Proportional, Integral and Derivative factors (Kp, Ki, Kd), when complete the function is normally to be replaced by the standard PID function as it will run faster with less system overhead. However when tuning is complete the PID tuning function will continue to control the plant using the standard PID function.)
Please note that PIDs are no longer autoconfig and there is no generic PID functionality with Continuum 1.94 and StruxureWare Building Operation 1.1 and higher, but custom solutions instead.
