Internal Cascade Control
The following rules apply for internal Cascade control:
• Loop 2 must be the primary loop.
• Loop 1 must be the secondary (internal or slave) loop because all output forms
exist on Loop 1.
• Loop 1 remote setpoint is fixed as Loop 2 output.
• No Position Proportional output is available on cascade controllers.
