A8.12 External-output Tracking
External tracking is an action of outputting the value
of the remote output TRK_VAL set from outside
the PID block, as illustrated in the figure below.
External tracking is performed when the block
mode is LO.

To change the block mode to LO:
(1) Select Track Enable in CONTROL_OPTS.
(2) Set TRK_IN_D to true.
However, to change the block mode from MAN
to LO, Track in Manual must also be specified in
CONTROL_OPTS.
A8.13 Measured-value Tracking
Measured-value tracking, also referred to as SP-PV
tracking, is an action to equalize the setpoint SP
to the measured value PV when the block mode
(MODE_BLK.actual) is MAN in order to prevent a
sudden change in control output from being caused
by a mode change to AUTO.
While a cascade primary control block is performing
the automatic or cascade control (in the AUTO
or CAS mode), when the mode of its secondary
control block is changed from CAS to AUTO, the
cascade connection is opened and the control
action of the primary block stops. The SP of the
primary controller can be equalized to its cascade
input signal CAS_IN also in this case.
The settings for measured-value tracking are made
in the parameter CONTROL_OPTS, as shown in
the table below.
• CONTROL_OPTS
Options in
CONTROL_OPTS
Description
Bypass Enable This parameter allows BYPASS to be set.
SP-PV Track in
Man
Equalizes SP to PV when
MODE_BLK.
target
is set to Man.
SP-PV Track in
ROut
Equalizes SP to PV when
MODE_BLK.
target
is set to ROut.
SP-PV Track in
LO or IMan
Equalizes SP to PV when
actual
is set to LO
or IMAN.
SP-PV Track
retained Target
Equalizes SP to RCAS_IN when
MODE_
BLK.target
is set to RCas, and to CAS_IN
when
MODE_BLK.target
is set to Cas when
the actual mode of the block is IMan, LO,
Man or ROut.
Direct Acting
Set the PID block to a direct acting controller.
Track Enable
This enables the external tracking function.
The value in TRK_VAL will replace the value
of OUT if TRK_IN_D becomes true and the
target mode is not Man.
Track in Manual This enables TRK_VAL to replace the value
of OUT when the target mode is Man and
TRK_IN_D is true. The actual mode will then
be LO.
Use PV for
BKCAL_OUT
Sets the value of PV in BKCAL_OUT and
RCAS_OUT, instead of the value of SP.
Obey SP limits if
Cas or RCas
Puts the setpoint high/low limits in force in
the Cas or RCas mode.
No OUT limits in
Manual
Disables the high/low limits for OUT in the
Man mode.
A8.14 Initialization and Manual
Fallback (IMAN)
Initialization and manual fallback denotes a set
of actions in which a PID block changes mode to
IMAN (initialization and manual) and suspends
the control action. Initialization and manual
fallback takes place automatically as a means of
abnormality handling when the following condition
is met:
• The quality component of BKCAL_IN.status is
Bad.
- OR -
• The quality component of BKCAL_IN.status is
Good (c)
- AND -
The sub-status component of BKCAL_IN.status
is FSA, LO, NI, or IR.
The user cannot manually change the mode to
IMAN. A mode transition to IMAN occurs only when
the condition above is met.
