As the title suggests, I have an Auber 2362 setup for mash temperature control in a gas-fired setup. Currently I have it in on/off mode. I realize that is how a lot people use it. But because of the way this mode works, I overshoot my temperatures because the heat is applied until the process value reaches the set value. But even after the heat is off, temperature will rise another 4-6 degrees.
Anyway, I talked to one of the individuals at Auber and they said I could use this in PID mode so that I don't overshoot my temperatures.
I will change my PID to the appropriate mode (outy=1) and will adjust the cycle rate to avoid overusing the solenoid valve (the cycle rate (ot) will be somewhere in the 20-40 range).
I was wondering if anyone has used their PID in this way and IF SO what settings did you find worked for P, I, D, and SouF (damp constant).
