Filter Time Constant
A time filter smoothes an input signal by applying a
first-order filter time constant to the signal. Either the
displayed value or both the displayed and control values
can be filtered. Filtering the displayed value makes it
easier to monitor. Filtering the signal may improve the
performance of PID control in a noisy or very dynamic
system.
A positive value affects only the viewed values. A nega-
tive value affects both the viewed and control values.

Set Point Low Limit and High Limit
The controller constrains the set point to a value between
a low limit and a high limit. The high limit cannot be set
higher than the sensor high limit or lower than the low
limit. The low limit cannot be set lower than the sensor
low limit or higher than the high limit.
