Cascade Menu

Use the cascade menu to configure cascade control. Use cas-

cade control to calculate the set point of the current loop (the

secondary, or outer, loop) based upon the output of another

loop (the primary, or inner, loop).
For more information about cascade control, see Setting Up

Cascade Control on page 100.

Cascade Primary Loop

Choose the primary loop. The controller uses the output of the

primary loop to calculate the set point of the current loop.

Values:

none (0), or loop 1 to 4 (1 to 4) for a four loop-con-

troller or 1 to 8 (1 to 8) for an eight-loop controller. You can-

not choose the current loop. Values in parentheses are for

communications.
Default:

none (0)

DeviceNet Object:

Cascade (6A hex)

Cascade Low Set Point

Enter the set point to use for the current loop when the output

of the primary loop is at its minimum value. The set point will

never drop below this value.

If the primary loop has only the heat output enabled, then

this value is the set point when the heat output of the pri-

mary loop is 0 percent.

If the primary loop has only the cool output enabled or

has the heat and cool outputs enabled, then this value is

the set point when the cool output is 100 percent.

Values:

For a thermocouple or RTD input, any value within

the input range (see Table 6.7 ). For a process input, any value

between the Input range low and Input range high parameters.

This value must be less than the Cascade hi SP parameter.
Default:

25 for a thermocouple, RTD or process input.

Decimal Placement for DeviceNet:

See Decimal Placement

for Numeric Values on page 59.
DeviceNet Object:

Cascade (6A hex)

Cascade High Set Point

Enter the set point to use for the current loop when the output

of primary loop is at its maximum value. The set point will

never exceed this value.
