Setting Up Differential Control
Differential control is a simple application of ratio control,
used to control one process (ratio loop) at a differential, or off-
set, to another process (master loop).
Menu Parameter Value Comment
Ratio Ratio master loop 01 Loop 1 is the master loop.
Ratio Ratio low SP 0.0
The minimum ratio loop set point is 0.0 gallons
per second (gps).
Ratio Ratio high SP 7.0
The maximum ratio loop set point is 7.0 gps.
Ratio Control ratio 0.5
The H
2
0 flow rate (10 gps) is multiplied by 0.5
to obtain the KOH flow rate (5 gps).
Ratio Ratio SP diff 0
For this example, there is no set point differen-
tial.
