Introduction

Controller Menu

Before you can use a function marked with an asterisk (*) below, you must select a controller on the main graphic display (or text view) by using the left button to click on the controllerÕs image (or name in text view).

Function	Purpose	Section

Alarms*	Configure the local alarms.	5.5

Graph*	Display a graph showing the controllerÕs SP and PV in real-	6.3
	time.

Setpoint*	Access the window used to change the controllerÕs setpoint.	6.4

Parameters*	Access the window used to view and change the controllerÕs	8.2
	configuration parameters. A shortcut for accessing the
	parameter display is double-clicking (left button) on the
	controller on main graphic display.

Standby*	Place the controller in Standby mode. The PV for the	7.7
	controller in Standby will alternate with the display of ÒStbYÓ.
	This item will be checked on the menu when accessed after
	selecting a controller in Standby mode.

Manual	Place the controller in Manual mode. The PV for the	7.2
Control*	controller in Manual will alternate with the display of ÒFOPÓ.
	This item will be checked on the menu when accessed after
	selecting a controller in Manual mode.

Tune*	Place the controller in Autotune mode. The PV for the	7.2
	controller in Autotune will alternate with the display of ÒAtunÓ.
	This item will be checked on the menu when accessed after
	selecting a controller in Autotune mode. Before putting a
	controller in Standby mode, be sure to read the manual
	supplied with the controller. Autotune will not work correctly
	unless you prepare the process and the controller as
	described in the controller manual.

Start Recipe*	The functionality of this item depends on the features the	6.5
	controller supports and how the controller is configured (for
	multi-step ramp, single-step ramp, or ramping disabled).
	If the controller supports a multi-step ramp and soak recipe
	based on parameter values stored in the controller and the
	feature is enabled, Start Recipe is used to start running that
	multi-step ramp and soak recipe.
	If the controller supports use of the single-step ramp to
	setpoint function at times other than at startup and the
	feature is enabled, Start Recipe item is used to ramp the
	current process variable to the current setpoint over the time
	period specified using the appropriate parameter.
	If the controller supports use of the single-step ramp to
	setpoint function at times other than at startup and the
	feature is disabled, Start Recipe can also be used to ramp
	the current process variable to the current setpoint.
	However, if ramping is set to ÒdisabledÓ, then a confirmation
	message is displayed before the PV is ramped using the
	default ramp time, one minute.
