RATE#1 &

 

0.02-10.00 minutes

 

Modifies the loop output based on the rate of change of the

 

 

RATE#2

 

 

 

process variable. The output is modified by a value that

 

 

 

 

 

 

assumes the rate of change of the process variable will

 

 

 

 

 

 

continue for the time period specified. Enter a starting value

 

 

 

 

 

 

or OFF at the time of configuration. The value may be altered

 

 

 

 

 

 

Online for final loop tuning. For loops with dual tuning, Rate 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

is the rate for the first set of tuning parameters. Rate 2 is for

 

 

 

 

 

 

the second set. (Variable Rate1 is available by programming

 

 

 

 

 

 

a constant's Destination with RT. Program Constants, Section

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.16.)

 

 

 

RESET#1 &

 

0.005-99.99 repeats/minute

 

Determines the period of time for a repeat of the proportional

 

 

RESET#2

 

 

 

gain output. Enter a starting value at initial configuration. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

value may be altered Online for final loop tuning. For loops

 

 

 

 

 

 

with dual tuning, Reset 1 is the time for the first set of tuning

 

 

 

 

 

 

parameters. Reset 2 is for the second set. (Variable Reset1

 

 

 

 

 

 

is available by programming a constant's Destination with RS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

See Program Constants, Section 4.16.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

A value of OFF may be entered to allow proportional-only

 

 

 

 

 

 

control. When turned off, the manual reset value determines

 

 

 

 

 

 

the loop output at set point. Bumpless manual to automatic

 

 

 

 

 

 

transfer is canceled when proportional only control is

 

 

 

 

 

 

selected.

 

 

RESET LIMIT

 

OFF or 100 to 200%.

 

This value restricts the calculated integral value of the loop

 

 

 

 

 

 

during Cold Start or on a manual-to-automatic transfer.

 

 

RATIO BIAS

 

 

 

Enter a bias value to be used in calculating the working set

 

 

 

 

 

 

point of the ratio control loop. This is essentially a value that

 

 

 

 

 

 

will be added to the product that results when RATIO

 

 

 

 

 

 

SETPOINT is multiplied by the ratio loop’s wild variable input

 

 

 

 

 

 

value. For example, in the fuel-air ratio control scenario

 

 

 

 

 

 

introduced in the RATIO SETPOINT section, suppose fuel

 

 

 

 

 

 

flow is the wild variable that measured to be 60. With the

 

 

 

 

 

 

RATIO SETPOINT prompt set to 0.5, the result will be 30

 

 

 

 

 

 

when the RATIO SETPOINT is multiplied by the fuel flow. If

 

 

 

 

 

 

the RATIO BIAS prompt is then set to 10, the actual set point

 

 

 

 

 

 

that the ratio loop will use to control air flow will be 30 + 10 =

 

 

 

 

 

 

40.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To make a ratio control loop’s working set point equal to:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(RATIO SETPOINT x Wild Variable value) + RATIO BIAS

 

 

 

 

 

 

the loop’s working set point must be toggled to SP2 using the

 

 

 

 

 

 

“SP (Set Point select)” key while viewing the loop’s ON LINE

 

 

 

 

 

 

display. Refer to Figure 4-1.
