Intermittent faults can be challenging. Here are some field-tested techniques:
The 9240si includes an automated tuning engine that calculates optimal PID values based on thermal lag and system dynamics. Bring your process close to the normal operating setpoint. Navigate to the parameter in the setup menu. Change the value from OFF to ON .
Interpreting results requires the specific fault thresholds found in the applicable AMM. However, general principles apply: 9240si loop controller user manual
