Tuning the heater temperature control bed duet 3 (3.4 beta7)

dc42

@massimilianoconti if the temperature readings are not noisy, you can speed up the tuning process by using a custom Y parameter in the M303 command, for example Y3.

@dc42 Hello and good start, I try to add the parameter Y I let you know. Thank you very much. I wanted to suggest to insert in the Duet Web Control a feedback button so as to send to you directly the problems that are encountered to speed up the procedures.

massimilianoconti

in this way putting Y3 in m303 works and quickly. now I see the stability and accuracy of the readings and update the outcome. Thank you

test ok

@dc42 I am using the machine intensively and I see that the temperature of the heating dish is very stable. so playing on the parameter Y tightening the hysteresis you can speed up the tuniong time and solve the problem of too long tuning times. if I notice other anomalies I communicate, for now thank you and ask if you can insert in the duet web control a button to immediately send any problems or requests for improvements ... Thank you

I have tested for a long time it seems to me that there are problems. although I performed the tuning successfully then sometimes when mold stops the bed heater without logic

tuning concluded well but after a while an error occurs see attached photo

Were the tuning results saved with M500 and M501 added to the end of config.g?

massimilianoconti

Yes. I solved and I put all the indications in the site:

@Phaedrux
Sorry to dig up an old post - I'm having similar issues with 3.4.4. I'm tuning a warmer to a target temperature of 40C. The oscillations are quite long to drop 5C - (~15 min cycles at ~20C ambient), and I'm now pushing 3 hours of tuning with no indications of letting up.

I'm curious on the noise standpoint - is the noise an absolute value to determine iterations or is it relative (i.e. taking a 5% tolerance of 15 minutes for cooling is very different than something within 5 seconds.

I'm going to be pulling out the limit on the number of iterations - just didn't want to lose the data from all the iterations it's already done if possible. 3 hours is a long time to ask for a relatively slow moving heater.

@TLAS the cycles are 5 initial oscillations and then a maximum of 25 recording oscillations. You can limit the amount of temperature drop from the set temperature (default of 5 degrees) using the Y parameter on M303.

@jay_s_uk
Any way to force it to stop early and accept the parameters it calculates?

jay_s_uk

@TLAS nope. Wait it out for it to complete for reset and start again.
Longest tuning cycle I heard of was 12 hours and I don't think that completed either
