It looks like this graphically on the Control Builder. Table 2-42 describes the parameters and the value or
selection.
ATTENTION
Use of Tune SET 1 or 2 can be selected via input (SWI) from the Loop Switch block output (SWO) or, in the
case of DUP_A or DUP_B, automatically depending on the value of the previous output (>=50% or <50%)

Proportional Band (PB
) - is the
percentage of the range of the
measured variable for which a
proportional controller will
produce a 100% change in its
output.
Gain
- is the ratio of output
change(%) over the measured
variable change (%) that caused
it.
