Figure 7.9
Duplex with one ON/OFF output
Figure 7.10
Duplex with two ON/OFF outputs
Notice that the relative gain setting does not affect output 1. In this example, a
relative gain setting of 2.0 (curve 1) results in output 2 reaching its maximum
value at a PID output of 25%. A relative gain setting of 1.0 results in output 2
reaching its maximum value at a PID output of 0%. A relative gain setting of 0.5
results in output 2 reaching a maximum of 50% at a PID output of 0%.
Duplex with one ON/OFF output
A reverse acting output 1 and a direct acting, on/off output 2 with a positive offset.
Relative gain does not apply when using duplex with an on/off output. The
deadband setting for output 2 works the same as the deadband in single on/off
control (the deadband effect for output 2 is not illustrated here).
Duplex with two ON/OFF outputs
A reverse acting on/off output 1 and a direct acting on/off output 2 with a negative
offset for output 1 and a positive offset for output 2.
Note that here the horizontal axis is expressed in terms of process variable rather
than PID output.
