PD+MR 
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.

3PSTEP
THREE POSITION STEP—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). This selection forces the Output Algorithm selection to 
“POSITON”.
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. 
The actual slidewire position is then shown on the lower display as 
POS. This value is used for display only. It is NOT used in the 
Three Position Step algorithm. To configure this option, set Input 
2 actuation to SLIDEW and then calibrate Input 2.

TIMER
DISABLE
ENABLE
TIMER allows you to enable or disable the timer option. 
The timer option allows you to configure a timeout period and to 
select timer start by either the keyboard (RUN/HOLD key) or Alarm 
2. A digital input can also be configured to start the timer. 
When the timer is enabled, it has exclusive control of the alarm 1 
relay; any previous alarm configuration is ignored. At timeout, the 
timer is ready to be re-activated by whatever action has been 
configured. Alarm 1 is activated at the end of the timeout period.
