Parameter Definition 
(Note 3) 
LAST
LAST OUTPUT—At power-up in automatic mode, the motor 
position will be the last one prior to power down. When the unit 
goes into FAILSAFE, it will stay in automatic mode; motor will not
be driven to the configured failsafe position.
F’SAFE
FAILSAFE OUTPUT—At power-up in manual mode, the motor will 
be driven to either the 0 % or 100 % output position, whichever is 
selected at prompt FAILSAFE. For Burnout/None, when the unit 
goes into FAILSAFE, it will go to manual mode; motor will be driven 
to the configured failsafe position.
SP HiLIM 
(Note 4) 
0 to 100 % of PV 
span in 
engineering units 
SETPOINT HIGH LIMIT—This selection prevents the local and 
remote setpoints from going above the value selected here. The 
setting must be equal or less than the upper range of the PV. 
SP LoLIM 
(Note 4) 
0 to 100 % of PV 
span in 
engineering units 
SET POINT LOW LIMIT—This selection prevents the local and 
remote setpoints from going below the value selected here. The 
setting must be equal or greater than the lower range of the PV. 
ACTION CONTROL OUTPUT DIRECTION—Select direct or reverse output 
action.
DIRECT
DIRECT ACTING CONTROL—The controller’s output increases
as the process variable increases. 
REVERSE
REVERSE ACTING CONTROL—The controller’s output 
decreases as the process variable increases. 
OUT RATE 
ENABLE
DISABLE
OUTPUT CHANGE RATE—Enables or disables the Output 
Change Rate. The maximum rate is set at prompt PCT/M UP or 
PCT/M DN. Only available for PID-A, PID-B, PD+MR control 
algorithms.
ENABLE—Allows output rate. 
DISABLE—Disables output rate. 
PCT/M UP 
0 to 9999 % per 
minute
OUTPUT RATE UP VALUE—This selection limits the rate at which 
the output can change upward. Enter a value in percent per 
minute. Appears only if OUT RATE is enabled. “0” means no output 
rate applied. 
PCT/M DN 
0 to 9999 % per 
minute
OUTPUT RATE DOWN VALUE—This selection limits the rate at 
which the output can change downward. Enter a value in percent 
per minute. Appears only if OUT RATE is enabled. “0” means no 
output rate. 
OUTHiLIM HIGH OUTPUT LIMIT—This is the highest value of output beyond 
which you do not want the controller automatic output to exceed. 
0 % to 100 %
–5 % to 105 % 
For relay output types. 
For current output types. 
OUTLoLIM LOW OUTPUT LIMIT—This is the lowest value of output below 
which you do not want the controller automatic output to exceed. 
0 % to 100 %
–5 % to 105 % 
For relay output types. 
For current output types. 
I Hi LIM 
(Note 5) 
Within the range of 
the output limits 
HIGH RESET LIMIT—This is the highest value of output beyond 
which you do not want reset action to occur 
I Lo LIM 
(Note 5) 
Within the range of 
the output limits 
LOW RESET LIMIT—This is the lowest value of output beyond 
which you do not want reset action to occur. 
DROPOFF
(Note 5) 
–5 to 105 % of 
output
CONTROLLER DROPOFF VALUE—Output value below which 
the controller output will drop off to the low output limit value set in 
prompt OUTLoLIM.
