7.6 Tune Loop

This option lets you tune (change) various loop parameters online. These tunable parameters depend on the loop type in use and are described in Section 4.8, Program Control Loops. Also, the following menu choices are available.

SETPOINT SOURCE

 

 

SP1 or SP2

 

 

Indicates which setpoint is being used by the loop. SP1 must

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be a number; SP2 may be a number or a value from a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

function block (remote setpoint).

Enter the new value of SP2. If SP2 is a remote setpoint you
