Setup Lists
You will not see every parameter listed here. These vary depending on the features enabled on your device. 
Input Error Power  What the controller outputs will do when an 
input error switches control to manual mode.
Off, sets output power to 
0% (62)
Bumpless transfer, main-
tains same output power, 
if it was less than 75% and 
stable, otherwise 0% (14)
Fixed Power, sets output 
power to Fixed Power set-
ting (54)
User, sets output power to 
last open-loop set point the 
user entered (100)
User 7013
 Fixed Power Manual output power level that will take effect 
if an input error failure occurs while User Fail-
ure Action is set to Fixed Power.

0.0 7011
 OpLoop Detect Enable Open Loop Detect Enable. Select Yes to de-
tect conditions that prevent the process from 
changing in specified time frame by a specified 
amount when PID power is at 100%. An open 
loop detect error will disable the control loop.
No (59)
Yes (106)
No 8039
 OpLoop Detect Time  Open Loop Detect Time. Process must deviate 
by the Open Loop Detect Deviation value in the 
specified time, while at 100% PID power, oth-
erwise an Open Loop Detect event is triggered.
0 to 3,600 seconds 240 8040
 OpLoop Detect Dev Open Loop Detect Deviation. Process must 
deviate by this value in the Open Loop Detect 
Time while at 100% PID power to prevent an 
open loop error.
