A5.7  Control Action Bypass
The PID control computation can be bypassed so 
as to set the SP value in the control output OUT as 
shown below.  Setting BYPASS to “On” bypasses 
the PID control computation.

A5.8  Feed-forward
Feed-forward is an action to add a compensation 
output signal FF_VAL to the output of the PID 
control computation, and is typically used for feed-
forward control.  The gure below illustrates the 
action.

A5.9  Block Modes
The block mode is set in the parameter MODE-
BLK.  
MODE_
BLK
Target Stipulates the target mode to which 
the PID block transfers.
Actual Indicates the current mode of the 
PID block.
Permitted Stipulates all the modes that the 
PID block can enter. The PID 
block is prohibited to enter any 
mode other than those set in this 
element.
Normal Stipulates the mode in which the 
PID block normally resides.
There are eight modes for a PID block as shown 
below.

Mode
Description
ROut Remote output mode, in which the PID block 
outputs the value set in ROUT_IN.
RCas Remote cascade mode, in which the PID 
block carries out the PID control computation 
based on the setpoint (SP) set via the remote 
cascade connection, such as from a computer, 
and outputs the computed result.
Cas Cascade mode, in which the PID block carries 
out the PID control computation based on the 
setpoint (SP) set from another eldbus function 
block, and outputs the computed result.
Auto The PID block carries out automatic control 
and outputs the result computed by the PID 
control computation.
Man Manual mode, in which the PID block outputs 
the value set by the user manually.
LO The PID block outputs the value set in TRK_
VAL.
IMan Initialization and manual mode, in which the 
control action is suspended. The PID block 
enters this mode when the specied condition 
is met (see Section A5.14).
O/S Out of service mode, in which neither the 
control computation nor action is carried out, 
and the output is kept at the value that was 
output before the PID block entered into O/S 
mode.

Condition
NOT
Conditions
O/S 1. If O/S is set in MODE_
BLK.target (or if O/S is 
set in target inside the 
resource block).
IMan 2. If the specied condition is 
met (see Section A5.14).
NOT if 
condition 1 is 
met.
LO 3. If Track Enable is specied 
in CONTROL_OPTS and 
the value of TRK_IN_D 
is true.
NOT if either 
or both of 
conditions 1 
and 2 are met.
Man 4. If Man is set in MODE_
BLK.target or if IN.status 
(input status) is Bad.
NOT if any 
one or more of 
conditions 1 to 
3 are met.
Auto* 5. If Auto is set in MODE_
BLK.target  
- AND -  
if IN.status (input status) is 
not Bad.
NOT if any 
one or more of 
conditions 1 to 
3 are met.
Cas* ** 6. If Cas is set in MODE_
BLK.target 
- AND - 
if neither IN.status (input 
status) nor CAS_IN.status 
is Bad.
NOT if any 
one or more of 
conditions 1 to 
3 are met.
