ERROR MESSAGE ERROR DESCRIPTION
Insufficient setpoint/process deviation.
If the absolute value of (setpoint - process
value) is less than 25° F. The Auto Tune can-
not be started until the temperature
difference is at least 25° F.
Auto Tune timed out. Auto Tune will time out
if a stable process value cannot be obtained
5 minutes into the tune, or if the tuning
process takes longer than 30 minutes. If this
error occurs, verify that you followed every
requirement under “To ensure a successful
Auto Tune” and perform a second tune.
Invalid PID constants were generated.
The most likely causes of this error is a tune
started inappropriately or an external ele-
ment (i.e., loose thermocouple) that upset
the process while tuning was in progress.
Verify that you followed every requirement
under “To ensure a successful Auto Tune”
and perform a second tune.
