3.3.3.1.1 Anti-Reset Windup
In a situation where a point has reached an output limit, and the integral
action has been stopped to prevent windup, it may be desirable to have
the IVP move very rapidly once it comes off of its limit. The Anti-Reset
Windup (ARW) feature provides the option of having the integral term of
a DCP unwind at a speed 16 times the normal, tuned reset speed. This
feature reduces the effects of reset windup on process variable
overshoot.
The PID PCA allows the user to establish limits based on the position of
the IVP that define when the ARW action occurs. The ARW High Limit
and ARW Low Limit values are used to determine the boundaries. When
the calculated IVP exceeds an ARW limit but not an output limit, the
integral action provides normal reset speed for windup" towards the
output limit and fast reset speed for wind down" back to the ARW limit.

Figure 3Ć8. Anti-Reset Windup
In the example shown in Figure NO TAG, the IVP of the DCP has reached
a lower limit at Point A. When the magnitude of the error term decreases
to within 1/2 the proportional band at Point B, the IVP starts to come off
of the limit. As the process variable crosses the set point at Point C, the
sign of the error becomes negative. At this point, the integral term
winds down" at 16 times the tuned reset speed until the IVP reaches the
ARW low limit at Point D. The normal reset action is then resumed. The
fast reset speed quickly changes the magnitude of the integral term,
resulting in less process variable overshoot.
