10.6   Using a Computer Setpoint (Overriding Controller Setpoint) 
Overview 
You can use a setpoint generated from the computer to override the setpoint being used 
by the controller. The value generated by the computer will have ratio and bias applied 
by the controller. 
Register Addresses 
Use the identifying code in Table 10-7 to enter the computer setpoint.

Shed 
The computer setpoint override will continue until SHED from communications occurs 
or the controller is placed into monitor mode through communications. Doing periodic 
SLAVE READS within the shed time will allow the override to continue until 
communication is stopped and shed time elapses. Does not apply to IR communications. 
ATTENTION 
0 Shed (code 79) allows the override to continue indefinitely or until the reset shed timer 
register address 1B90 and 1B91 is written using function code 6 or parameter ID 127 
using function code 21. Any data value can be written because it is ignored.  
When SP is overridden, the upper display becomes āCā momentarily, and the lower 
display shows the CSP value as CSP XXXX.
