Optimizer Modes
The optimizer mode establishes the personality of the optimizer. Modes are set
through touch-screen targets. Table 1-7 explains the three optimizer modes.
Table 1-7 Optimizer Modes
Mode Description
The normal operating state. In this state, Profit Optimizer optimizes the process.
• Pressing OFF takes Profit Optimizer off-line from the process. Control sheds to
the configured Profit Controllers.
• Profit Optimizer continues to track the CVs, but is not manipulating the MVs to
regulate the CVs. The optimizer is getting process values and predicting where
the CVs are going, but is not executing its algorithms, and no control moves are
output.
• CV values are updated on the Profit Optimizer displays.
• Intended for commissioning (startup).
• In this mode, CVs are being tracked, and prediction and optimization algorithms
are executing.
• MV moves are sent to the Profit Optimizer displays, but not to the process. This
gives you a chance to watch the control moves on the displays before giving
Profit Optimizer control of the process.
• You can check that the CVs and MVs are doing what you want according to the
tuning, and optimization parameters that you have set.
• Default access is ENG.
