Parameter  Description 
HI_HI_ALM   The HI HI alarm data, which includes a value of the alarm, a 
timestamp of occurrence, and the state of the alarm.  
HI_ALM  The HI alarm data, which includes a value of the alarm, a timestamp 
of occurrence, and the state of the alarm.  
LO_ALM   The LO alarm data, which includes a value of the alarm, a 
timestamp of occurrence, and the state of the alarm.  
LO_LO_ALM   The LO LO alarm data, which includes a value of the alarm, a 
timestamp of occurrence, and the state of the alarm.  
DV_HI_ALM   The DV HI alarm data, which includes a value of the alarm, a 
timestamp of occurrence, and the state of the alarm.  
DV_LO_ALM   The DV LO alarm data, which includes a value of the alarm, a 
timestamp of occurrence, and the state of the alarm.  
PID_FORM  Configuration parameter specifies the IDEAL or ROBUST PID 
equation to be used:   
•  IDEAL PID (default): Non-interactive form of a three mode control 
equation that provides Proportional, Integral and Derivative 
control action. Linear and non-linear gain parameters are 
available. 
•  ROBUST PID: The same as Ideal PID. Additionally, the equation 
supports a user-configurable lag filter applied to calculated output 
value. (See OUT_LAG parameter.) Linear and non-linear gain 
parameters are available. 
ALGO_TYPE  Configuration parameter specifies algorithm type which can be A, B, 
or C:  
•  Type “A” equation where Proportional, Integral and Derivative act 
on ERROR. 
•  Type “B” equation where Proportional and Integral act on ERROR 
and Derivative acts on PV. 
•  Type “C” equation where Integral acts on ERROR and 
Proportional and Derivative act on PV. 
OUT_LAG  Time constant of single exponential LAG filter applied to the OUT 
parameter (primary output). 
Units (in seconds). For Ideal PID equation the lag filter is fixed at 
1/16 and is not configurable. 
GAIN_NLIN  Dimensionless gain factor. When the gain factor is multiplied by 
absolute value of the error and added to the linear GAIN, the result 
is a gain response which is proportional to the deviation. The default 
value is zero resulting in no response due to non-linear gain action. 
GAIN_COMP  The composite gain quantity including both linear and non-linear 
gain parameters. It is a read only parameter. 
ERROR_ABS  Absolute value of the difference between PV and working setpoint. 
Read only parameter. 
WSP  Working setpoint. This is the setpoint value after absolute and rate 
limits have been applied. Deviation alarms are computed on this 
value. It is a read only parameter. 
BLOCK_TEST  An internal Honeywell test parameter.
