Heater fault after auto tuning
-
I have a strange issue with heater auto tuning and current stable firmware 1.19 (2017-08-14).
Performing auto tuning for my heater with M303 H1 tunes to 200° C what is pretty similar to my default printing temperature (195°).
The values written to config-override.g are: M307 H1 A397.5 C173.2 D2.1 S1.00 B0
When printing with those values after some time the temperature starts fluctuating and ends with a heater fault.After removing the model from config-override.g and rebooting the duet the output from M307 H1 is totally different:
M307 H1
Heater 1 model: gain 340.0, time constant 140.0, dead time 5.5, max PWM 1.00, mode: PID
Computed PID parameters for setpoint change: P13.4, I0.095, D51.4
Computed PID parameters for load change: P13.4, I0.949, D51.4Neither in config.g nor in config-override.g any other M301/M307 entries can be found.
What can be the cause for the temperature fluctuations with the values obtained from PID auto tuning?

It appears that the dead time found by auto tuning was 2.1 seconds, which is suspiciously low. What type of hot end is it?

Genuine E3D V6 with supplied standard thermistor.

My E3Dv6 hot end tuned a few days ago as:
M307 H1 A557.8 C265.8 D3.9 S1.00 B0
This one has a silicone sock fitted. Your gain and time constant will be lower without one; but the dead time should be similar.
Try tuning it again, and if it still gives a low dead time (D parameter), increase it.
