Description of parameters 34 
34.DEBA - Deadband of closed-loop controller 
This parameter is used with value "Auto" to adjust the deadband in automatic mode 
continually and adaptively to the requirements of the control loop. If a regulator oscillation is 
detected, then the deadband is incrementally enlarged. The reverse adaptation takes place 
using a time criterion.  
The deadband is set using the values 0.1 to 10.0. Control oscillations can then be 
suppressed. The smaller the deadband, the better the control accuracy. 
The factory setting is "Auto". 
 
Description of parameters 35 and 36 
35.YA - Start of the manipulated variable limit 
The factory setting is "0". 
and 
36.YE - End of the manipulated variable limit 
These parameters are used to limit the mechanical actuator travel from stop to stop to the 
configured values. This allows the mechanical positioning range of the actuator to be limited 
to the effective flow, preventing integral saturation of the controlling closed-loop controller. 
See figure in Description of parameters 37 (Page 165). 
 
Note 
"YE" must always be set larger than "YA". 
 
The factory setting is "100". 
 
Description of parameters 37 
YNRM - Normalization of manipulated variable 
Using the "YA" and "YE" parameters, you can limit the manipulated variable. This limitation 
causes two different scaling types, MPOS or FLOW, for the display and for the position 
feedback through the current output. See the figure below. 
The MPOS scaling type shows the mechanical position from 0 to 100% between the hard 
stops of the initialization. The position is not influenced by the "YA" or "YE" parameters. The 
parameters "YA" and "YE" are shown in the MPOS scale.
