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.
