Patent ID: 11921526
Assignee: WATLOW ELECTRIC MANUFACTURING COMPANY
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 13:
14. A method for learning an energy profile of a heater, the method comprising:
obtaining a setpoint variable indicating a target temperature of the heater;
providing electrical energy to the heater, wherein the electrical energy has a calibration magnitude;
obtaining a process variable indicating a temperature of the heater; and
when the process variable indicates that the temperature of the heater is equal to the target temperature:
determining a response time of the heater;
selectively adjusting gain values of a controller based on the response time; and
generating the energy profile based on the gain values and the setpoint variable, wherein the energy profile correlates the setpoint variable to a predetermined value of electrical energy.
