Dual Output Control 4.8

Dual output control can be performed when two outputs are specified. The outputs may be
programmed for On-Off, Time Proportioning, or Current Proportioning, as applicable. To utilize
the Auto Tune feature, Output 1 must be programmed for proportional reverse action.
The output action is dependent upon the setpoint, the process value, and Tune mode parame-
ters. If two proportional outputs are selected, both output proportional bands will be biased so
that 0 % of output is seen when the process value equals setpoint. The output(s) can be
biased by the use of the Tune mode parameters FoP and SoP as shown below.

The first output is programmed as a proportional reverse output and the second as a propor-
tional direct output. (See Glossary, page 68, for definitions of these terms). Dual propor-
tioning outputs are provided with separate proportional band; auto reset, rate, and cycle time
adjustments for each output.
