RE: PID_Compact drives the chiller valve wide open when the tank gets cold, S7-1200

Right to worry about the flow switch. We cooked a pump that way.

RE: Logix PID loop swings with a 40 second period after moving it out of a periodic task

Valve first, then the block. Glad it was the block this time.

RE: Ignition trend shows a flat line while the level control valve is visibly hunting

Good. Before he touches the gain, prove the signal. Loop calibrator on LT301, or just watch the raw mA on the input card while it hunts, because a noi...

RE: PIDE output stuck at 100 percent for minutes after steam came back

jcasey has it. Two hours of positive error on that L30 and the integral kept adding. The PIDE stops integrating when its CV reaches CVHLimit, which I ...

RE: 1756-IF8 reads underrange with a new 2-wire 4-20mA pressure transmitter

Correct, and joeb has it right. The loop is: 24V supply plus, through the transmitter, into the module, back to supply minus. The transmitter regulate...

RE: S7-300 SM 331 level scaling shows only 0, 25, 50, 75 percent, DINT maths

Bipolar is for plus and minus 10V. Leave it false for 4 to 20.

RE: Pt100 on a 1769-IR6 reads 8 degrees high on an 80 m run

Landed the third wire on the compensation terminal. The module had it all along and the contractor was just wrong. Reads within 0.5 of the portable no...

Cable away from the pump was the real fix. Then the block.
