6.2.3  Ramp Settings [PAR2 → RAMU/ RAMD/ rUNT] 
  Ramp is a feature used to configure the slope toward SV (Setting Value). The feature 
limits change rate of 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.

  Activating the ramp feature when the ramp is not in operation limits the 
change rate of SV (Setting Value) based on PV (Present Value). 
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.
