3.12 Setpoint channel 
The setpoint channel (refer to Fig. 3-59) forms the coupling element between the 
setpoint source and the closed-loop motor control. MICROMASTER has a special 
characteristic which allows the setpoint to be entered simultaneously from two 
setpoint sources. The generation and subsequent modification (influencing the 
direction, suppression frequency, up/down ramp) of the complete setpoint is 
carried-out in the setpoint channel.

For applications where the control quantities are generated from central control 
systems, fine tuning is often required locally on-site (correction quantity). For 
MICROMASTER, this can be very elegantly realized using the summation point 
where the main and supplementary (additional) setpoint are added in the setpoint 
channel. In this case, both quantities are simultaneously read-in via two separate 
or one setpoint source and summed in the setpoint channel. Depending on 
external circumstances, the supplementary setpoint can be dynamically 
disconnected or switched-in to the summation point (refer to Fig. 3-60). This 
functionality can be used to advantage, especially for discontinuous processes.
