Current Proportioning Control 4.6
Current Proportioning control can be implemented on units provided with
mADC current output(s). Current Proportioning control provides a 4 to
20mADC or 0-20mADC output in response to process value and setpoint.
As with Time proportioning, the calculated output % for Current proportion-
ing is affected by the Tune mode parameter adjustments.
See Figure 4-1 (below) for proportional bandwidth effect on the output.
