N/A NONE
Data Type: DS-65
In Travel Control:
Setpoint for valve
travel in %, prior to
characterization.
In Pressure Control:
Setpoint for
implied valve travel as % or
pressure range, prior to
characterization.
FINAL_VALUE is not updated
unless the AO block is selected in
FEATURE_SELECT. For example,
FINAL_VALUE still has last value
written by AO channel 1 when DO
is in control.

number of digits to the right of the
decimal place to be used to display
the Final Value.

−25 to 125 99.5 SETUP
Data Type: Float
When the servo goes above this %
of span, the stem position goes to
the upper limit. Cutoffs are OFF
when Low is at −25% and high is at
+125%. Must be > low cutoff +
.625%.

Data Type: Float
When the servo goes below this %
of span, the stem position goes to
the lower limit. Cutoffs are OFF
when Low is at −25% and high is at
+125%. Must be < hi cutoff −
.625%.
