4.4.1.2 PROCESS VARIABLE OFFSET - Word Parameter 26

This word parameter may be modified/interrogated. It modifies the actual process

variable value (as measured at the Controller’s input terminals) in the following

manner:

Modified PV value = Actual PV value + process variable offset value

The modified PV value is limited by Range Maximum and Range Minimum and is

used for display and alarm purposes and for recorder outputs.

NOTE: This parameter value should be selected with care. Any

adjustment to this parameter is, in effect, an adjustment to the

Controller’s calibration. Injudicious application of values to this

parameter could lead to the displayed PV value having no

meaningful relationship to the actual PV value.

4.4.1.3 SCALE RANGE MAXIMUM - Word Parameter 12

This Read Only word parameter indicates the maximum process input value.

4.4.1.4 SCALE RANGE MINIMUM - Word Parameter 11

This Read Only word parameter indicates the minimum process input value.

4.4.1.5 DECIMAL POINT POSITION - Word Parameter 18

This Read Only word parameter indicates the input range decimal point position.

4.4.1.6 INPUT FILTER TIME CONSTANT - Word Parameter 25

This word parameter may be modified/interrogated. The Controller input is

equipped with a digital filter which is used to filter out any extraneous impulses on

the process variable. This filtered PV is used for all PV-dependent functions

(control, alarms etc.). The time constant for this filter may be adjusted in the range

0.0 seconds (filter OFF) to 100.0 seconds in 0.5 second increments. The default

setting is 2.0 seconds.

CAUTION: If this parameter is set to an excessively high value, the

control quality may be significantly impaired. The value chosen

should be sufficiently large to attenuate stray noise on the process

variable signal but no larger.

4.4.2 Output Parameters

4.4.2.1 OUTPUT POWER VALUE - Word Parameter 3

The value of this word parameter may range between 0% and 100% (for a

single-output Controller) or –100% and 100% (for a dual-output Controller). If
