Item Description
1
Program Number—This number is assigned when the control builder or the Operator Interface
creates the profile. The program number is assigned in the “Setpoint Profile Pool” and is shown on
the “Edit Setpoint Profile” dialog box.
Program Number
2
Program Name—During configuration you must assign a name (descriptive reference) consisting of
from 1 to 8 letters or numbers without spaces. Thus, a name can be a combination of letters and
numbers. Note that lowercase letters are automatically converted to uppercase.
3 Engineering Units—You must assign a descriptor consisting of up to 4 keyboard characters for the
engineering units that the setpoint value represents. For example, GPM for gallons per minute, NPS
for number per second, RPM for revolutions per minute, and DEGF for degrees Fahrenheit.
4
Ramp Segments—A ramp segment is a starting setpoint and the time or rate to reach the setpoint of
the following segment.
Typically, segment #1 will be a ramp. Ramp time is determined in either:
TIME*—Hours or Minutes Range = 0.00 hr. to 999.99 hr. / 0.00 min. to 999.99 min.
OR
RATE*—EU/MIN or EU/HR Range = 0 to 999.99
*This selection of time or rate is made when you configure properties.
Make this selection before entering any Ramp during Profile Edit.
NOTE: When Ramp unit is configured for TIME, entering “0” will imply an immediate step change in
setpoint to the next soak.
