4.2 Operating Condition Restrictions
E5EK
4--7
The change rate during the SP ramp is specified by the “SP ramp set
value” and “SP ramp time unit” parameters. At the “SP ramp set value”
default “0”, the SP ramp function is disabled.
The set point changing in SP ramp can be monitored in the “Set point
during SP ramp” parameter (level 0 mode).
The limiters are invalid or cannot be set when any of the following
conditions occurs:
If the SP ramp function is enabled when the power i s turned ON, and
when “run” is switched to from “stop,” process value may reach the set
point after SP ramp in the same way as when the set point is changed.
In this case, operation is carried out with the process value regarded as
the set poin t before the change was made.
The direction of the SP ramp changes according to the relationship be-
tween the process value and the set point.

• Execution of auto-tuning starts after the end of SP ramp.
• When the controller is switched to the manual mode, the set point
changes continuously until SP ramp ends.
• When the controller is in the stop state or an error occurs, the SP
ramp function becomes invalid.
