2.9 Ratio Controller (Templates 14 and 15)
Ratio control enables a controlled process variable to be maintained automatically in definite
proportion to another variable known as the wild variable. The wild variable weighted by ratio (rAtO)
and bias (bIAS) values, forms the control set point for the process variable.
