4.18 Setpoint  Rate 
Introduction 
When you have configured a SETPOINT RATE, it will apply immediately to local 
setpoint change. 
Configuration check 
Make sure: 
•  SPRATE is enabled 
•  A Rate Up (EUHRUP) or Rate Down (EUHRDN) value has been configured in 
Engineering units per hour.   
ATTENTION 
A value of 0 will imply an immediate change in setpoint, that is, NO RATE applies.  See 
Subsection 3.5 – Configuration group “SPRAMP” for details.) 
Operation 
When a change to local setpoint is made, this controller will ramp from the original 
setpoint to the “target” setpoint at the rate specified. 
The current setpoint value is shown as SPn XXXX on the lower display while the 
“target” setpoint is shown as SP XXXX on the lower display. 
Power outages 
If power is lost before the “target” setpoint is reached, upon power recovery, the 
controller powers up with Sn = Current PV value and it automatically “Restarts” from Sn 
= current PV value up to the original “target” setpoint. 
4.19 Setpoint  Ramp 
Introduction 
When you have configured a SETPOINT RAMP, the ramp will occur between the

minutes.  You can RUN or HOLD the ramp at any time. 
Configuration Check 
Make sure 
•  SPRAMP is enabled
