Definition 
 
PB PCT 
PROPORTIONAL BAND selects units of percent 
proportional band for the P term of the PID 
algorithm. 
Where: PB % = 100 % FS
 
  GAIN 
 
GAIN 
GAIN selects the unitless term of gain for the P term 
of the PID algorithm. 
Where: GAIN = 100 % FS
 
  PB% 
MINUTESorRPM 
(selection is used for 
both loops) 
 
RESET UNITS—Selects units of minutes per repeat 
or repeats per minute for the “I” term of the PID 
algorithm. 
20 Repeats per Minute = 0.05 Minutes per Repeat. 
 
RPM  
REPEATS PER MINUTE—The number of times per 
minute that the proportional action is repeated by 
reset. 
 
MINUTES 
MINUTES PER REPEAT—The time between each 
repeat of the proportional action by reset. 
NOTE 1: Does not apply to Three Position Step Control. 
NOTE 2: If controller is in Manual mode when a failure occurs, then the output will maintain its value. 
NOTE 3:These selections appear when:  
A) Control Algorithm is selected for 3PSTEP. 
B) Control Algorithm is selected for PD+MR and Output Algorithm is selected for Position 
Proportional. 
NOTE 4: Reset limits and Dropoff are not displayed when Three Position Step Control is configured. 
NOTE 5: If PV source is one of the Analog Inputs, then the SP HiLIM and SP LoLIM values must be 
between the Input High and Input Low values for the input type configured.  If the PV source is an Input 
Algorithm configured for: 
•  Carbon Potential; then the SP HiLIM and SP LoLIM values must be between 0.000 and 2.000 
•  Dewpoint; then the SP HiLIM and SP LoLIM values must be between –50 and +100 
•  Oxygen; then the SP HiLIM and SP LoLIM values must be between 0 to 40.00 
•  Weighted Average, Summer, Subtractor, High or Low; then the SP HiLIM and SP LoLIM values 
must be between the configured CALC HI and CALC LOW values. CALC HI and CALC LOW can 
be set anywhere between –999 and 9999. 
•  Math A, Math B, Math C or Math D; then the SP HiLIM and SP LoLIM values can be set 
anywhere between –999 and 9999 and are not limited to the CALC HI and CALC LOW values
