Example: Split range-operation with two positioners

Setpoint ramp UP

and

Setpoint ramp DOWN
The setpoint ramp is effective in automatic operation and limits the

speed of alteration of the active setpoint. When switching over from

manual operation to automatic the active setpoint is adjusted to the set-

point on the positioner with the setpoint ramp.
This bumpless manual/automatic switchover avoids excessive pressure

increases on long pipelines.
In the position TSUP = Auto the slower of the two travel times determi-

ned during initialization is used for the setpoint ramp. TSDO is then in-

effective.

Setpoint function (see figure 4-8, page 83)
Non--linear valve characteristics can be linearized with this function and

any flow characteristics simulated in linear valve characteristics.
Six valve characteristics are stored in the positioner
