Function Codes – Introduction
• Click on the Output tab to select the output configuration options. See the next figure:
• Change the output limits and range to desired values: Click on the Output tab of the PID
block. See the next figure:
• The output limits are applied to the active output when the proper output modes limited
condition is met. Output values from the PID algorithm are limited to these numbers.
• The output modes limited count value is used to limit the output modes to those selected.
The limits can be applied to: Auto, Manual&Auto, Auto&Track, Manual&Auto&Track.
• The output range high and low values represents the top and bottom of the output range.
The output range values are used to denormalize the output units.

Output Modes in MOD 30ML:
The PID output mode can be Manual or Auto or Track. When the output is in Manual
mode, the user can change the output from the faceplate. When the output is in Auto
mode, the PID block calculates the output.
When the output is in Track mode the output tracks the signal connected to the OPTI
(Output Track Input) attribute of the PID block. An external signal can be connected to the
OPTI attribute of the PID block or it can be an internal value in the PID block that can be
manually changed by the user from the faceplate. The output can be switched to Track
mode by the TCI (Track Command Input) attribute of the PID block. The data type of the
TCI is discrete and can be connected to switch the output mode to track (1 – track Enable,
0 – track Disable). An external signal can be connected to the TCI attribute of the PID
