C4.5 PV Tracking
The PV tracking function first makes the CSP temporarily the same as the current PV
value, and then changes the CSP gradually to the true CSP value according to the SP
gradient setting. This function is enabled when the SP up gradient (SPR.UP) or SP down
gradient (SPR.DN) parameter is set to a non-zero value.
PV tracking acts in the following situations:
- When the SP Number Selection (SPNO) parameter is changed.
- When the operating mode is changed from “Manual” to “Run” and “Automatic” or
from “Manual” to “Run” and “Cascade”.
- When the operating mode is changed from “Stop” to “Run” and “Automatic” or from
“Stop” to “Run” and “Cascade”.
The PV tracking function is disabled when a burnout or AD converter error is detected.
When the SP number is changed, the PV tracking function changes the CSP gradually
according to the SP gradient setting from the value designated by the old SP number to
the value designated by the new SP number.

The PV tracking function is disabled if the SP Up Gradient and the SP Down Gradient are
set to 0 (OFF).
- If PV < CSP, the function acts if the SP Up Gradient (SPR.UP) parameter is
non-zero.
- If PV ≥ CSP, the function acts if SP Down Gradient (SPR.DN) parameter is non-zero.
