PID Hotend Tuning

@Hellpilot said in PID Hotend Tuning:
My bed heater is connected to E1 Heat, my thermistor is connected to E0 Temp.
That's the reverse of what your gcode says. The bed should be on the bed heater and the hotend on E0.
@Hellpilot said in PID Hotend Tuning:
What is this C value?
Coefficient.

Right, my bed heater is connected correctly same as my bed temp. Went to run bed PID tune next. Not a complete shutdown like the hotend, but as if e-stop was pressed.
M303 H0 S70 using valuesM308 S0 P"bedtemp" Y"thermistor" T100000 B3988 C0 ; configure sensor 0 as thermistor on pin bedtemp
M950 H0 C"bedheat" T0 ; create bed heater output on bedheat and map it to sensor 0
M307 H0 B0 S0.20 ; disable bang-bang mode for the bed heater and set PWM limit

You've got C0 there as well. What is the thermistor for the bed? Probably should remove the C0.

Thank you! Both the PID tuning for the bed and hotend are complete.
The bed is running at 40% PWM to avoid the soft shutdown. Also has some electrical noise during heating.
I've read about thermal coupling to prevent runaway. In regarding to the warning in the console messages about potential temperature increase. How serious is this?
-
Do you mean this?
-
@Phaedrux Yup, thats it! The console mentioned it could reach 365 something.
There seems to be an issue running both heaters. Back to getting hard shutdowns. Will double check all my connections just to be sure...
-
Are you exceeding the wattage of your PSU?
-
@Phaedrux That I do not know. I am using a Meanwell 24V, 18.8A PSU.
-
What is the wattage of your bed heater?

Culprit found. Power input voltage was set to 230V, switched to 115V. Heaters can carry full PWM now.
