Hi, PID Control panel, the default Artisan value for Duty is Min=-100 Max=100. For TC4 which value to use, Min=0 Max=100 is this correct? Thank you note: I use PAC Mode2 |

Yes, the Min value should be zero of more. I prefer to use the narrowest range of usable values in real roast, instead 0-100. For example on my machine I have 20-80 min/max for ot1, set in TC4. 20% is the minimum I am using for preheat, and 65-72% is maximum reached in my roasts. Did you tried to perform any kind of heat control with the Artisan PID? even the simplest, like reaching and maintaining a fixed preheat temperature ? |

Yes, to tune the pid, at first with fixed temperature, then with a curve. But with wrong duty cycle value (-100/100) my settings was based on the video tutorial "TC4 Pid Control" ! Asap I wil make new tests with value 0/100 to see the impact. The idea of narrowest values seems interesting, I will try next. |
