Definition 
 
F FWRD 
(Standard feature on 
controllers with two or 
more analog inputs) 
FEEDFORWARD SUMMER—Feedforward uses 
Input A, following a Ratio and Bias calculation, as a 
value summed directly with the PID computed output 
value and sent, as an output value, to the final 
control element. 
This algorithm will only function in automatic mode 
and is not used for Three Position Step Control 
applications. Algorithm 1 Feedforward works only on 
Loop 1 while Algorithm 2 Feedforward works only on 
Loop 2. 
The following formula applies: 
 
Controller Output = PID Output + (Input A x Ratio A + Bias A) x (100 / Input A 
Range) 
 
FFWDMu 
(Standard feature on 
controllers with two or 
more analog inputs) 
FEEDFORWARD MULTIPLIER—Feedforward uses 
Input A, following a Ratio and Bias calculation, as a 
value multiplied directly with the PID computed 
output value and sent, as an output value, to the final 
control element. 
This algorithm will only function in automatic mode 
and cannot be used for Three Position Step Control 
applications. Algorithm 1 Feedforward works only on 
Loop 1 while Algorithm 2 Feedforward works only on 
Loop 2. 
The following formula applies: 
 
Controller Output = PID Output x (Input A x Ratio A + Bias A) / Input A Range 
 
RELHUM 
(Standard feature on 
controllers with two or 
more analog inputs) 
RELATIVE HUMIDITY—Input 1 reads the wet bulb 
temperature. Input 2 reads the dry bulb temperature. 
The controller will indicate measured Relative 
Humidity as a Process Variable (PV) with a Setpoint 
range of 0 % to 100 % RH. 
 ATTENTION   The Relative Humidity selection will 
automatically force both Input 1 and Input 2 
actuations to the RTD 100 ohm low setting.  
See Note 6.
 
 
SUMMER 
(See Note 2) 
SUMMER WITH RATIO AND BIAS—The following 
formula applies: 
  Alg1 = (Input A x Ratio A + Bias A) + (Input B x Ratio B + Bias B) + (Input C x 
Ratio C + Bias C) + Alg1Bias 
 
HI SEL 
(See Note 2) 
INPUT HIGH SELECT WITH RATIO AND BIAS—
This selection specifies the PV or SP as the higher 
of Input A or Input B. The following formula applies: 
 
Alg1 = higher of (Input A x Ratio A + Bias A) or (Input B x Ratio B + Bias B)
