7- 23 
Operand  Data type  Function  Setting range  Description 
Tf  REAL 
Derivate-action 
time constant 
Range of 
positive single- 
precision 
floating- 
point numbers 
(unit: sec) 
If the derivate-
action time constant 
is less than 0, Tf is 
0 and it is not 
controlled by the 
derivate-action time 
constant (derivative 
smoothing). 
PID_EQ  BOOL  PID formula types 
True: dependent formula 
False: independent formula 
PID_DE  BOOL 
The calculation of 
the PID derivative 
error 
True: use the variations in the PV to 
calculate the control value of the 
derivative (Derivative of the PV). 
False: use the variations in the error (E) 
to calculate the control value of 
the derivative (derivative of the 
error). 
PID_DIR  BOOL 
PID 
forward/reverse 
direction 
True: reverse action; heating up 
(E=SV-PV)   
False: forward action; cooling down 
(E=PV-SV) 
ERR_DBW  DWORD/DINT 
Range within 
which the error 
value is counted as 
0. 
-32768~32767 
The error value (E) 
is the difference 
between the SV 
and the PV. When 
the setting value is 
0, the function 
disabled; otherwise 
the CPU module 
checks 
whether the present 
error is less than 
the absolute value 
of ERR_DBW, and 
checks whether the
