Default

Control Zone

This parameter defines a gap or dead band on
either side of the setpoint. When the process
variable is within this gap, proportional and
integral output changes are suppressed.

Note

that derivative changes are based on the PV
and are therefore not affected.

Controller Span

These two parameters set the upper and lower
values on the controller display. They permit
the control action to be defined over a range
independent of the process variable input
range. They also determine the speed at which
the setpoint changes when the up or down
arrow push buttons are pressed.

Setpoint Slew Rate

This parameter imposes a ramp limit on the
setpoint. When configured to a non-zero
value, the setpoint used in the PID algorithm is
allowed to change each scan time only by the
amount configured. The final value of the
setpoint is always displayed on the units
display.

Output Slew Rate

This value is the maximum output change in
percent allowed for the PID algorithm. A zero
disables output slewing. This value has no
effect on the manual operation of the output.

Control Setpoint

The setpoint value that has setpoint slewing
applied and is used internally to calculate the
deviation for the PID function.

Remote Setpoint

Track Status (SPTS) is a
