Remote Setpoint Upper Limit Type: Controller Parameter
Defines the value of the Remote Setpoint when the RSP input signal is at its maximum value
(eg for a 4 to 20mA RSP, the value when 20mA is applied). It may be adjusted within the
range -1999 to 9999; (decimal position same as for process variable input). However, the
RSP value is always constrained within the Setpoint Upper Limit and Setpoint Lower Limits.

, default value = PV input range maximum.
Also refer to Remote Setpoint, Remote Setpoint Input, Remote Setpoint Lower Limit, Remote
Setpoint Offset, Setpoint and Setpoint Upper Limit and Setpoint Lower Limit.
Remote Setpoint Offset Type: Controller Parameter
Used to adjust the Remote Setpoint input value. Positive values are added to the RSP
reading, negative values are subtracted. It is adjustable in the range
–1999 to 9999, but is
constrained within the Scale Range Upper Limit and Scale Range Lower Limit.

Retransmit Output Type: General Definition
A linear DC voltage or mA output signal, proportional to the Process Variable or Setpoint, for
use by slave controllers or external devices, such as a Data Recorder or PLC. The output
can be scaled to transmit any portion of the input or setpoint span.
Also refer to Input Span, Master & Slave, Process Variable and Setpoint.
Retransmit Output 1 Scale Maximum Type: General Parameter
Scales a linear output module in slot 1 that has been set up to retransmit PV or SP.
Retransmit Scale Maximum defines the value of the process variable, or setpoint, at which
the output will be at its maximum value. E.g. for a 0 to 5V output, the value corresponds to
5V. It may be adjusted within the range -1999 to 9999; the decimal position is always the
same as that for the process variable input. If this parameter is set to a value less than that
for Retransmit Output 1 Scale Minimum, the relationship between the process
variable/setpoint value and the retransmission output is reversed.

Retransmit Output 1 Scale Minimum Type: General Parameter
Scales a linear output module in slot 1 that has been set up to retransmit PV or SP.
Retransmit Scale Minimum defines the value of the process variable, or setpoint, at which
the output will be at its minimum value. E.g. for a 0 to 5V output, the value corresponds to
0V. It may be adjusted within the range -1999 to 9999; the decimal position is always the
same as that for the process variable input. If this parameter is set to a value greater than
that for Retransmit Output Scale Maximum, the relationship between the process
variable/setpoint value and the retransmission output is reversed.
