Additive
Feed
Forward
(FF)
This analog input signal is
added to the PID result to
form the control scheme out-
put value when auto opera-
tion is active.
Analog
Back-up
Control
A control strategy whereby
the controller acts as an auto-
matic back-up device in the
event a host computor con-
trolling the process fails. This
control strategy is imple-
mented with the factory de-
fault settings, by selecting the
SnGL prompt for the ProG-
cS-SchM parameter, and with
path connections used to
drive the final element output
selector.
Analog
Input (AI)
An input that accepts a 0-20
mA or a 4-20 mA signal. The
53SL6000 controller has two
standard analog inputs and
can accept two optional ana-
log inputs via the universal
analog input module.
Analog
Input
Register
(Ai)
Analog input registers 1-4 re-
ceive their hardware input
analog values after signal
conditioning has been applied
to the analog inputs 1-4.
(Hardware input to analog in-
puts 3 and 4 requires the op-
tional universal analog input
module.) Constant values
can be entered into all of the
analog registers 1-8; how-
ever, if the register has an ac-
tive hardware input, the
constant value will be over-
written.
Analog
Output (AO)
A standard 0-20 mA or 4-20
mA analog signal is trans-
mitted by the controller
through analog output 1. It is
defined as a percent of output
value (percent of final control
element excursion from mini-
mum to maximum).
Auto/Manual
Selector
A control strategy whereby
the controller acts as a signal
pass-through device when in
auto, with capabilities to
manually provide a control
output if necessary. This
control strategy is imple-
mented in the 53SL6000 con-
troller with the factory default
settings and by selecting the
in.Ld prompt for the ProG-cS-
SchM parameter.
Bar
or
Vertical
Bar
An LED ladder used to dis-
play percent. The 53SL6000
controller has two vertical
bars, each containing 40
LEDs: red, which is used pri-
marily to display the process
variable; and green, which is
used primarily to display the
setpoint.
Characterizer
A 53SL6000 functional unit
that provides signal value
modification via any one of
four operating modes: third
order polynomial, twelve seg-
ment linear, setpoint pro-
grammer, and digital-to-
analog converter.
Controller
Refers to the 53SL6000 con-
trol unit described in this
manual. Primarily, it is a de-
vice used to maintain process
quiescence at a predeter-
mined setpoint level.
Control
Scheme
The control scheme is the
fundamental functionality
needed to calculate and pro-
duce the necessary output
control signal. There are five
control schemes provided in
the 53SL6000 controller that
can be used as the basis for
many control strategies.
Each control scheme applies
to a unique area of process
control:
