Setpoint Programming
Overview
Introduction
Up to four independent setpoint programming blocks may be configured in the controller using the
“Control Builder” software. A single program (profile) may be from 2 to 50 segments in length. Up to 70
profiles are stored in the controller's memory. Each segment of the profile may be a ramp or a soak except
the last step that must be a soak.
In addition to the main ramp and soak output value, a second analog value (Aux. Output) is available for
each step of the program. This output is a fixed soak value that may be used to provide a setpoint value for
a secondary control loop in the process. An example would be a ramp and soak temperature program
combined with pressure setpoints for each step of the program.
An operator can interact with the configured programs through the Setpoint Programming operator displays
at the operator interface; or operation can be directed through integral actions connected by Softwiring
functions in the Control Builder.
