Pressure in the reset bellows opposes the action of the proportional bellows and slowly moves the flapper closer to the
nozzle. The result of this interaction is that when the process differential pressure changes, proportional action
temporarily reduces the gain of the controller for improved stability. The process differential pressure then slowly
returns to set point, as pressure in both bellows equalizes via the reset action.
The set point adjustment changes the distance between the nozzle and flapper as does a change in process differential
pressure, except that when the set point changes, the nozzle moves with respect to the flapper.
The proportional band adjustment knob positions the nozzle on the flapper. Increasing (widening) the proportional
band moves the nozzle to a position on the flapper where less input and more feedback motion occurs, which
decreases the gain of the controller. Decreasing (narrowing) the proportional band moves the nozzle toward a
position where more input and less feedback motion occurs, which increases the gain.
