Monitoring and Operating the Controller

4.8 Control Modes

ATTENTION

After changing a Local Setpoint value, if no other key is pressed, it then takes a minimum of thirty (30) seconds elapsed time before the new value is stored in non-volatile memory. If controller power is removed before this time, the new setpoint value is lost and the previous setpoint value is used at power-up. If, after changing the LSP value, another key is pressed, then the value is stored immediately.

AUTOMATIC with In automatic remote mode, the controller operates from the setpoint measured at the

REMOTE

remote setpoint input. Adjustments are available to ratio this input and add a

SETPOINT

constant bias before it is applied to the control equation.

(optional)

MANUAL

In the manual mode, the operator directly controls the controller output level. The

process variable and the percent output are displayed. The configured High and

 

Low Output Limits are disregarded and the operator can change the output value,

 

using the increment and decrement keys, to the limits allowed by the output type

 

(0 % to 100 % for a time proportioning output or –5 % to 105 % for a current output).
