PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
P-n1
Control Action & Sensor Burn-out Protection:
The Con-
trol Action is the direction of the output relative to the
process variable. The controller can be programmed as
either a reverse or a direct-acting controller. As a
reverse-acting controller, the controller’s output
decreases as the process variable increases. A heating
application would require reverse acting control. As a
direct acting controller, the controller’s output increases
as the process variable increases. A cooling application
would require direct-acting control. Enter the code from
the Table of Output Type Codes which establishes the
controller as either a reverse or direct-acting controller.
The Sensor Burn-out Protection is the intended direc-
tion of the output in the event of a thermocouple or RTD
sensor break, or a break in the analog input. The con-
troller can be programmed with either upscale or down-
scale burn-out direction. With upscale burn-out, a 100%
output will be delivered in the event of a sensor burn-
out. With downscale burn-out, 0% output will be deliv-
ered in the event of a sensor burn-out. Enter the appro-
priate code from the Table of Output Type Codes on
page 30.
