A5.12  External-output Tracking
External tracking is an action of outputting the value 
of the remote output TRK_VAL set from outside 
the PID block, as illustrated in the gure below.  
External tracking is performed when the block 
mode is LO.  
TRK_SCALE
OUT_SCALE
TRK_VAL

To change the block mode to LO: 
(1)  Select Track Enable in CONTROL_OPTS.  
(2)  Set TRK_IN_D to true.  
However, to change the block mode from Man 
to LO, Track in Manual must also be specied in 
CONTROL_OPTS.  
A5.13  Measured-value Tracking
Measured-value tracking, also referred to as SP-PV 
tracking, is an action to equalize the setpoint SP 
to the measured value PV when the block mode 
(MODE_BLK.actual) is Man in order to prevent a 
sudden change in control output from being caused 
by a mode change to Auto.  
While a cascade primary control block is performing 
the automatic or cascade control (in the Auto or 
Cas mode), when the mode of its secondary control 
block is changed from Cas to Auto, the cascade 
connection is opened and the control action of the 
primary block stops.  The SP of the secondary 
controller can be equalized to its cascade input 
signal CAS_IN also in this case.  
The settings for measured-value tracking are made 
in the parameter CONTROL_OPTS, as shown in 
the table below.  
Options in
CONTROL_OPTS
Description
Bypass Enable This parameter allows BYPASS to 
be set.
SP-PV Track in 
Man
Equalizes SP to PV when MODE_
BLK.target is set to Man.
SP-PV Track in 
ROut
Equalizes SP to PV when MODE_
BLK.target is set to ROut.
SP-PV Track in LO 
or IMan
Equalizes SP to PV when actual is 
set to LO or IMAN.
SP-PV Track 
retained Target
Equalizes SP to RCAS_IN when 
MODE_BLK.target is set to RCas, 
and to CAS_IN when MODE_BLK.
target is set to Cas when the 
actual mode of the block is IMan, 
LO, Man or ROut.
Direct Acting Set the PID block to a direct acting 
controller.
Track Enable This enables the external tracking 
function. 
The value in TRK_VAL will replace 
the value of OUT if TRK_IN_D 
becomes true and the target mode 
is not Man.
Track in Manual This enables TRK_VAL to replace 
the value of OUT when the target 
mode is Man and TRK_IN_D is 
true. The actual mode will then be 
LO.
Use PV for 
BKCAL_OUT
Sets the value of PV in BKCAL_
OUT and RCAS_OUT, instead of 
the value of SP.
Obey SP limits if 
Cas or RCas
Puts the setpoint high/low limits in 
force in the Cas or RCas mode.
No OUT limits in 
Manual
Disables the high/low limits for 
OUT in the Man mode.
A5.14  Initialization and Manual 
Fallback (IMan)
Initialization and manual fallback denotes a set of 
actions in which a PID block changes mode to IMan 
(initialization and manual) and suspends the control 
action.  Initialization and manual fallback takes 
place automatically as a means of abnormality 
handling when the following condition is met: 
•  The quality component of BKCAL_IN.status is 
Bad.  
  - OR -
•  The quality component of BKCAL_IN.status is 
Good (c) 
  - AND -
  The sub-status component of BKCAL_IN.status 
is FSA, LO, NI, or IR.  
The user cannot manually change the mode to 
IMan.  A mode transition to IMan occurs only when 
the condition above is met.
