PDMR 3 
PD WITH MANUAL RESET is used 
whenever integral action is not wanted for 
automatic control. The equation is computed 
with no integral contribution. The MANUAL 
RESET, which is operator adjustable, is then 
added to the present output to form the 
controller output. 
Switching between manual and automatic 
mode will be bumpless. 
If you select PD with Manual Reset you can 
also configure the following variations: 
  •  PD (Two Mode) control, 
  •  P (Single Mode) control. 
   • Set Rate (D) to 0.

THREE POSITION STEP CONTROL 
(TPSC)—The Three Position Step Control 
algorithm allows the control of a valve (or 
other actuator) with an electric motor driven 
by two controller relay outputs; one to move 
the motor upscale, the other downscale 
without a feedback slidewire linked to the 
motor shaft. The deadband is adjustable in 
the same manner as the duplex output 
algorithm. 
The Three Position Step Control algorithm 
provides an output display (OUT) which is an 
estimated motor position, since the motor is 
not using any slidewire feedback. Although 
this output indication is only an 
approximation, it is “corrected” each time the 
controller drives the motor to one of its stops 
(0 % or 100 %). It avoids all the control 
problems associated with the feedback 
slidewire (wear, dirt, noise). When operating 
in this algorithm, the estimated OUT display 
is shown to the nearest percent (i.e., no 
decimal). 
Refer to the Operation section for motor 
position displays. 
As a customer configurable option, when a 
second input board is installed, the motor 
slidewire can be connected to the controller.
