4.18  Setpoint Rate/Ramp/Program Overview 
Introduction 
The Setpoint Ramp configuration group lets you enable and configure any of the 
following: 
•  SPRATE – a specific rate of change for any local setpoint change.  (Subsection 
4.20) 
•  SPRAMP – a single setpoint ramp that occurs between the current local setpoint and 
a final local setpoint over a time interval of 1 to 255 minutes.  (Subsection 4.19) 
•  SPPROG – a ramp/soak profile in a 12-segment program. (Subsection 
4.21) 
This section explains the operation of each selection and configuration reference where 
necessary. 
PV Hot Start 
This is a standard feature.  At power-up, the setpoint is set to the current PV value and 
the Rate or Ramp or Program then starts from this value.
