Heater fault despite tuning.

@jay_s_uk Ah, sorry for missing that bit.

Same behaviour in 3.5.3 and 3.6.0-beta.1

@janjoh See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Heaters_tuning#manual-adjustments-to-the-heater-model-parameters

Most likely, the auto tune algorithm hasn't quite got the tuning correct, usually because the heating rate is a bit different between initial heat up and staying at temperature. So you may need to manually adjust the settings. Most likely:

If during initial heating the temperature undershoots the target:

RRF 3.3 and later: reduce the R parameter by 5% or 10%

~~You haven't posted the config-override.g, so I don't know the setting you are actually using.~~ Open config-override.g, copy the M307 line for the heated bed, paste it into the console, adjust the R parameter, press return to send the Gcode, then send M500 to save this new setting to config-override.g, then test to see if there is an improvement.

@droftarts My config override line is in my orginal post?

But here is the full file

Oh, sorry, yes it is! Try:

M307 H0 R0.6 K0.296:0.000 D7.54 E1.35 S1.00 B0

(R has reduced by 5% from 0.631 to 0.6)

@droftarts Thank you. Will try after current printing batch.

Also, from where is that advice to reduce by 5-10%? I honesrtly thought that I had done my homework.

@droftarts Thank you. Not sure how I managed to NOT see that one.

janjoh

@droftarts even a 10% diff lands me with

Heater 0 fault: temperature rising too slowly: expected 0.39°C/sec measured 0.09°C/sec

droftarts

@janjoh Can you reset the board, then send M307 H0 from the console to show what the firmware thinks the heater PID is?

Did it get closer to the target temperature before faulting? If possibly, can you post a screenshot from DWC of the heater curve as it heats from cold until it faults?

Ian

janjoh

@droftarts A tad closer I'd say (with 10% reduction)

Here is the M307

M307 H0
Heater 0: heating rate 0.570, cooling rate 0.296, dead time 7.54, max PWM 1.00, mode PID
Predicted max temperature rise 162°C
PID parameters: heating P41.5 I0.783 D219.2, steady P41.5 I1.821 D219.2

If I set the bed to heat from cold to (95C) is happily rockets past 70. So, it does seem to be something with the parameters.

After having read the doc you linked, I did do a significant bump of firmware a while back. When 3.5 was released, I did go from 3.2 -> 3.5

So, whatever changed in 3.2 - 3.4, I have not experienced.

janjoh

@droftarts Dropping R down to 480 allows me (so far) reliable initial heating, with only about 0.8C overshoot on the initial run to 70C. That is fully acceptable for me.

So, thank you for pointing me into the proper direction.
