Units of measure for values of process variable or set point

 

 

 

UNITS

 

 

 

 

 

which will appear on Online loop displays.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FEEDBACK

 

 

OFF, analog parameter,

 

 

Provides verification to the loop that the loop output request

 

 

 

 

 

 

number

 

 

(LP OV) was achieved by the analog output module (AO).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feedback sources are typically pointed to the associated

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back Calculation Value (BC) of an analog output module.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feedback inputs must have a span equal to the loop output

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

span when they are not pointed directly to analog output

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

modules.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FEEDFORWARD

 

 

OFF, analog parameter,

 

 

Modifies the control loop output independent of the PID

 

 

 

 

 

 

number

 

 

calculation. The range of the value should not exceed 0 to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

100 units. Feedforward is typically used to provide an output

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

change in anticipation of a change to the loop process

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

variable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FEEDFORWARD

 

 

-10.00 to 10.00

 

 

Applies gain to the feedforward input value.

 

 

 

GAIN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FORCE REMOTE

 

 

OFF, discrete parameter, 0,

 

 

When discrete is ON(1), forces loop from automatic mode to

 

 

 

MAN

 

1

 

 

remote manual mode. In remote manual, loop output is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

determined by the OUTPUT TRACKING value and the local

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Down Arrow and Up Arrow buttons for manual output

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

adjustment are disabled. In remote manual the automatic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

indicator (AUTO) of the display will flash. Selecting Manual

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mode from the Auto/Manual button will override remote

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

manual operation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the loop’s Set point #2 is programmed as the Set point

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Profiler (SPn OV), Force Remote manual should be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

programmed as OFF.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GAIN/PROP BAND

 

 

PB or GAIN

 

 

Select whether gain or proportional band will be used for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tuning the control loop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GAIN#1 OR GAIN#2

 

Enter a value of 0.1 to 200

 

 

Gain is the proportional gain entry for the control loop (The

 

 

 

 

 

 

for Gain, or 0.5 to 1000.0 for

 

 

value entered here is the gain applied to the error signal to

 

 

 

 

 

 

Proportional Band. Enter

 

 

determine the loop output). For example, a 10% change in

 

 

 

 

 

 

OFF to allow integral only

 

 

process variable (with respect to the input range) from a

 

 

 

 

 

 

control. (Variable Gain1 or

 

 

balanced condition will result in a 10% change in output,

 

 

 

 

 

 

PB1 is available by

 

 

when a gain of 1.0 is used. Enter a starting value at initial

configuration. The value may be altered Online for final loop

 

 

 

 

 

 

Destination with GN or PB.

 

 

tuning. If an indirect source is specified as in an adaptive

 

 

 

 

 

 

See Program Constants,

 

 

gain configuration, the value can only be altered at the

 

 

 

 

 

 

Section 4.16.)

 

 

source.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gain and Proportional Band are interchangeable values

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Proportional Band = 100/Gain). For loops with dual tuning,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gain 1 is the gain for the first set of tuning parameters. Gain

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 is for the second set.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HYSTERESIS

 

 

Enter 0-100% of PV span

 

 

Deadband value prevents excessive output oscillation when

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

using ON/OFF control.
