6.2.3  Ramp settings [PAR2 → RAMU/ RAMD/ rUNT] 
Ramp is a feature used to configure the slope toward set value(SV). The feature limits change 
rate of set value(SV) and thereby restricts sudden temperature changes (increase and decrease) 
in the control subject. 
Ramp is commonly used in applications where rapid temperature changes (increase and 
decrease) could impact negatively on the control subject. 
RAMU 
Settings for Ramp-up change rate. 
RAMD  Settings for Ramp-down change rate. 
rUNT 
Settings for Ramp time unit.

Activating the ramp feature when the ramp is not in operation limits the change rate of Set 
value(SV) based on present value (PV). Changing SV or ramp parameters while the ramp is in 
operation limits the change rate of SV based on SV at the point of the change. 
Control will be carried out based on changed SV (hereinafter referred to as RAMP SV) - 
changed by preset change rate (slope). RAMP-Up Change Rate and RAMP-Down Change Rate 
can be configured independently. 
Alarm operation during RAMP will be made based on final SV. 
Setting the rate of ramp change to 0 deactivates the ramp feature. 
If the ramp feature has been activated, RAMP SV will be displayed on SV display part.
