 Direction of Control Action 
PID Function Block
Direction of Control Action
The direction of the control action is determined by the Direct Acting setting in 
CONTROL_OPTS (Table 48).
Control Action Bypass
The PID control computation can be bypassed to set the SP value in the control output 
OUT (Figure 72). Setting BYPASS to ON bypasses the PID control computation.

Value of Direct Acting Resulting Action
True
The output increases when the input PV is
greater than the setpoint SP.
False
The output decreases when the input PV is
greater than the setpoint SP.
