Explanation: 
 
RAMP TIME 
Pressure setpoint ramp time [s] 
 
RAMP MODE 
 
Mode = 0 
Constant Time 
The RAMP TIME is dependent on the adjusted parameter ramp time and is always the 
same independent of the control deviation. That means the ramp time from the actual value 
to the setpoint value is the adjusted parameter ramp time value. 
Mode = 1  
Constant Slope 
The RAMP TIME is dependent on the adjusted parameter ramp time and is different 
depending on the control deviation. The RAMP TIME is calculated corresponding to the 
sensor full scale value (10V). Ramp time = 10 sec ; ramp time slope is SFS (10V) in 10 
Seconds. 
 
P-GAIN 
The P-GAIN is the proportional factor of the fixed control algorithm.
