ACTION (CACT)
There are processes that require the output signal to increase when the Process Variable increases,
hile others require the other way around. w
Parameter CACT selects the type of action:
TYPE 0, 2, 4 or 6 - Output signal decreases when PV increases
eS
P

()
YPE 1, 3, 5 or 7 - Output signal ncreases when PV increases. T

In order to standardize operation, it is recommended to consider that an output signal equal to 100%
means valve open and that an output signal equal to 0% means valve closed. Operation of the front
s follows the same principle: panel key

According to this procedure MV=100% means always valve open and MV=0% means always valve
closed.
If the actuated valve is "Air-to-open", MV=100% must be equivalent to 20 mA. Valves type Air-to-
close will require 100% being equivalent to 4 mA. This may be selected in Function 02 - Current
Output.
