Level Controller Configuration
Additional Options
The following options are not required for Level Controller operation.
Setpoint Tracking When enabled and in manual mode, setpoint tracking automatically
changes the setpoint to the measured level value. This option is valid in
manual (MAN) mode only.
For example, assume that the target setpoint is set to 90 inches when the
controller is switched from automatic to manual mode. At the conclusion
of manual mode activities, the actual liquid level is now 82 inches.
If setpoint tracking is ON, the new target setpoint will automatically
change to 82 inches when the operator switches back to automatic mode.
Factory Default: Tracking Disabled
Valid Options: Tracking Disabled, Tracking Enabled
Setpoint Rate Limit Setpoint rate limit defines the maximum ramp rate at which changes in
the setpoint are acted on. For example, assume that the setpoint rate
limit is set to 5 inches per second. When an operator changes the
setpoint from 65 to 85 inches, it will take the controller 4 seconds to
ramp to the new setpoint (20 inches
4 5 inches per second = 4 seconds).
Setting this variable to 0.0 disables setpoint rate limiting.
Factory Default: 0.0 level units per second
Valid Range: >
0.0 level units per second
