4.18 Setpoint Rate/Ramp/Program Overview
Introduction
The Setpoint Ramp configuration group lets you enable and configure any of the
following:
• SPRATE – a specific rate of change for any local setpoint change. (Subsection
4.20)
• SPRAMP – a single setpoint ramp that occurs between the current local setpoint and
a final local setpoint over a time interval of 1 to 255 minutes. (Subsection 4.19)
• SPPROG – a ramp/soak profile in a 12-segment program. (Subsection
4.21)
This section explains the operation of each selection and configuration reference where
necessary.
PV Hot Start
This is a standard feature. At power-up, the setpoint is set to the current PV value and
the Rate or Ramp or Program then starts from this value.
