CYCLE_SEL (Tuning)
Identifies the block execution methods available. Unused in National
Instruments FP-3000.
CYCLE_TYPE (Tuning)
Used to select the block execution method. Unused in National
Instruments FP-3000.
DD_RESOURCE (Diagnostic)
Unused in FieldPoint.
SP Track Retained Target
Causes the setpoint to track the input value of the retained
target of the block. The retained target of the block is the
lowest priority mode set in the target mode field of the
MODE_BLK
parameter of the block. For example, if the
RCas
bit is set in the target mode, the setpoint tracks
RCAS_IN
.
Direct Acting
Defines the relationship between changes to the
PV
and
changes to the output. For example, consider a case with a
fixed
SP
while the process variable varies. When
Direct
Acting
is set, an increase in the process variable causes the
control block output value to be increased. When
Direct
Acting
is clear, an increase in the process variable causes the
control block output value to be decreased.
Track Enable
Enables external tracking. If
Track Enable
is true, and
TRK_IN_D
is true,
TRK_VAL
overwrites the value at the output
of the block except when
Man
is the target mode.
Track in Manual
Enables tracking in Manual mode.
Use PV for BKCAL_OUT
When set, uses the process variable as the value for
BKCAL_OUT
, instead of the setpoint.
Obey SP Limits if Cas or
RCas
When set, confines the setpoint to values within
SP_HI_LIM
and
SP_LO_LIM
, even when the setpoint comes from another
function block.
No OUT Limits in Man
Unused in FieldPoint.
