On for Htg

Set Name: On For Htg/On For Clg

CLG-ABSEFFORT (Cooling Absolute EWMA Effort)

 

Provides an EWMA based on the absolute value of (Current Present Value - Last Present Value). The PID computes this value.

0.0

Display Units: %

CLG-ABSERROR (Cooling Absolute EWMA Error)

 

Provides an EWMA based on the absolute value of (Cooling Setpoint - Process Variable). The PID computes this value.

0.0

Display Units: °C, °F

CLG-ERROR (Cooling EWMA Error)

 

Provides an EWMA based on the difference of (Cooling Setpoint - Process Variable). The PID computes this value.

0.0

Display Units: °C, °F

CLG-EWMA (Cooling EWMA Present Value)

 

Provides an EWMA of the Present Value. The PID computes this value.

0.0

Display Units: %

COMPCLG-O (Cooling Percent Cmd)

V

Contains a representative analog percent output for cooling on a scale of 0% to 100%. This typically is connected to the three speed or proportional fan output. This value does not exactly match the staged outputs due to PMAC and the status of min on and min off timers.

Display Units: %

COMPHTG-O (Heating Percent Cmd)

V

Contains a representative analog percent output for heating on a scale of 0% to 100%. This typically is connected to the three speed or proportional fan output. This value does not exactly match the staged outputs due to PMAC and the status of min on and min off timers.

Display Units: %

COMP-MINOFF (Minimum Off Time)

 

Min Off Duration for all stages.

120 Seconds

COMP-MINON (Minimum On Time)

 

Min On Duration for all stages.

0.0

Display Units: %

HTG-ABSERROR (Heating Absolute EWMA Error)

 

Provides an EWMA based on the absolute value of (Heating Setpoint - Process Variable). The PID computes this value.

0.0

Display Units: °C, °F

HTG-ERROR (Heating EWMA Error)

 

Provides an EWMA based on the difference of (Heating Setpoint - Process Variable). The PID computes this value.

Display Units: %

PID Tuning Reset

 

Causes the PID objects to reset their tuning parameters to the default based on the appropriate Process ID.

Normal

Set Name: PID Tuning Reset

PMAC Period

V

Specifies the period used by the PMAC algorithm portion of the MSC.

Display Units: Seconds
