3.3.3.2.3 Track
The track function modifies the tracking characteristics of a point. It
causes the output of the control algorithm to track the specified track
signal value when tracking is enabled. This function also allows for
tracking to override manual mode.
3.3.3.2.4 Gas Chromatograph Interface
Gas Chromatograph Interface (GCI) performs a sample and hold
operation on the process variable input whenever the GCI data ready
input makes a 0 to 1 transition. The GCI function will enable integral
control action for the length of time specified (controller on-time) after
the GCI data ready input has made a 0 to 1 transition. The controller
integral action is then held after the controller on-time has elapsed.
There will be no change to the output of the control algorithm when the
integral action is held because the GCI function is holding its output
which would be the process variable to the control algorithm. When
used, the feedforward function is active when the control algorithm is
being held by the GCI function. Therefore, the output from the station
will change when there is a change in feedforward control action.
If a new GCI data ready input is not received by the time the specified
timeout time has elapsed, the GCI function sets the point to the manual
mode and sets the discrete signal value output of the GCI function block
to a logic 1 to indicate timeout. A new data ready trigger will reset the
discrete signal value output to a logic 0, but will not automatically switch
the mode.
3.3.3.2.5 Cascade
The cascade function provides cascade control linkage between two
direct control points; the second of which must have remote set point
mode. The implied valve position (IVP) of the primary loop is
automatically placed into the set point of the secondary loop when the
secondary loop is in the remote set point mode.
When the secondary loop is in the manual mode, the IVP of the primary
loop tracks the process variable of the secondary loop.
When the secondary loop is in the local automatic mode, the IVP of the
primary loop tracks the local set point of the secondary loop.
When the secondary loop is in the remote set point mode, the IVP of the
primary loop becomes the set point of the secondary loop.
